Given the growing urbanization, the future of cities is unsustainable. The dispute over territorial control and the appropriation of functional and symbolic uses of spaces make cities the epicenter of global contradictions. It is in the city where various life forms emerge as a result of the interconnection of natural systems with artificial systems resulting in a multiplicity of ways of living, of building identities, of imagining and interrelated with the environment, with politics, with culture , with the acts of daily life typical of the culture of an era that impact architecture itself as a profession and its teaching.

If on the one hand the city stars in inequality and social exclusion, it also produces social, educational, economic, political, technological and informational transitions, from which innovations can arise that modify the unsustainability patterns that have put diversity at risk Biological and life on the planet.
