ABSTRACT

Las ciudades son el producto material más grandioso, complejo, e importante del hombre. Su proliferación y dominio como forma de asentamiento humano ha sido indetenible. Hoy día la ciudad es la principal fuerza productiva, indispensable para contar con sociedades más avanzadas. La forma contemporánea de las ciudades presenta características y problemas complejos no resueltos. En las ciudades de Asia, África y América Latina, el desempleo y el subempleo campean, las normas de habitabilidad no valen y existen zonas desprovistas de servicios urbanos, incluidos el suministro de agua potable y el saneamiento básico. Es necesario repensar la ciudad, tal como la conocemos hoy, fortaleciendo las ciudades existentes con especial énfasis en el desarrollo de las infraestructuras, el desarrollo de las áreas públicas, así como el transporte colectivo eficiente para todo el conjunto urbano. Debe lograrse la mayor calidad del medio ambiente que facilite la vida urbana al conjunto de pobladores, incluyendo desarrollar programas especiales para homologar en estas condiciones de vida a los habitantes de los desarrollos no controlados o barrios(AU)


Cities are the greatest, most complex and important achievements produced by humankind. Their growth and power as human settlements are unstoppable. Today the city is considered to be the principal productive settlement necessary for advanced societies. Contemporary cities present features as well as acute problems yet unsolved. In cities of Asia, Africa and Latin America unemployment and under-employment prevail while living standards are deprived of their value; at the same time, these cities face the problem of being constituted by large settlements which are characterized by the lack of adequate (in some cases, almost to the point of non-existence)urban services, including water supply and basic drainage. Therefore is necessary to rethink cities, as we know them today, in order to reinforce them with special emphasis on infrastructure development, the construction of public spaces as well as public transportation for the city as a whole. The best way of building a healthy environment is through the task of providing the benefits of urban life to all inhabitants. This policy must include the implementation of special upgrading programs in order to cope with the growing problem of uncontrolled settlements or squatters(AU)
