Abstract

Contemporary Western urban planning is based on productivist logics, which seek the efficiency of the urban system in terms of displacement and compatibility of uses, and hygienist principles, which aim to safeguard the population’s health and quality of life. Structured roadways are defined, space within the urban boundary is zoned, and land uses, densities, and heights are regulated based on these principles, alongside other variables that condition the growth and transformation of cities.
