Human City and its Sustainability

Reflections were drawn up with a view to improving the quality of life in cities, especially high-density cities situated in a conflictual development arena where capital and man clash in the conquest of space and territory. Recognising and valuing man as the core of the capillarisation of architecture and family farming will help to resolve the environment that currently characterises the various areas of knowledge. Some examples are presented and compared to other successful ones, as well as the legal instruments that guide and standardise public policies on cities in Brazil, where the federal, state and municipal spheres have responsibilities to allocate capital for investments, manage the resources released and provide transparency to the public about what has been planned and how it is being implemented. Moving away from the paradigm of a commodity city to a human city!
