Ciudad y vida urbana : un esbozo teórico

This article presents some of the most fundamental theoretical elements that allow understanding concepts such as Urban Life and City; places and relationships made out of ephemeral and fragmental interactions among individuals that occupy, move and use Public Spaces in the city. In order to explain this phenomenon, authors that have established fundamental knowledge on how relationships and movement determine this Life Style in big cities are visited. In that sense, this work presents and overview that travels since the Chicago School through contemporary perspectives on that matter.
