Abstract

This dossier attempts to rethink polysemic concepts such as city, urbanity, growth, development, renewal in the ways of inhabiting and in the appropriation of spaces and common goods of the urban, to account for the relationship between the resulting spatiality and the processes underway, considering the disputes in the face of issues such as inequality, exclusion, resilience and dissidence between the spheres of life and those of the systems. Thus, the objective we formulated was to highlight a set of arguments from different epistemological frameworks that allow us to broaden the view on the complexity of urban habitation. The discussions, experiences and actions reviewed in the articles received give an account of the multiple perspectives that both from academia and praxis situate the city as an object of study and intervention.
