The city, village, is perhaps the most important hallmark of human society. The city is inherent to society, is the physical place in which they operate, is shared and gave new life. The city is an engine of human progress since antiquity.
the past 50 years, however, politicians, speculators, and citizens, we also have our fault, we have loaded many cities. We do not have cities to live, but cities showcase, dormitory towns, tourist towns. But
we have stripped the cities of his character: the place where she lived the store, workshop, business, residents, schools, markets. Cities have thrown everything that was "uncomfortable" to industrial estates. We have changed the geography of trade by eliminating the small shops and shopping centers-all created equal, all with the same offer, on the banks of the highways. We have driven the neighbors bedroom suburbs. We are no longer neighbors.
architects in the twentieth century also put ideal city planners and designers in each area had a use. The wonderful thing about the city is the coexistence of different capacity applications. Homes are changed to "residential units." No longer lives, there is a room where to sleep, no place to live.
Some cities, however, manage to maintain that status, despite attempts to destroy them. For example, the study Mercaciudad, which measures various parameters, it appears that the best cities to live are those that do not stand or its monumentality nor his greatest works: Pamplona, \u200b\u200bSantander, Logroño, Murcia, San Sebastián, Albacete, Zaragoza, Oviedo, Gijón and Caceres. None received
mass tourism, but moments. None is a monumental city. No work has been undertaken "to put on the map to the city (except for the Expo Zaragoza).
reflection on the city's role in today's society should be required for the next candidate. Tailor-made human cities, cities to be lived and not to be photographed cities.
