Any consideration of the essential concepts of the occidental city which does not avoid the mutations undergone by the cities at the end of the 20th century, should include the diversification and a greater integration of the public space as well as their accessibility as a "civic objective". Within the context of an ecological approach to human settlements, it is interesting to study the ways in which the citizen contacts its peers and its environment, i.e. the physical and sensible environmental as well as the social, economic and cultural one. What is implicit there is the inclusion in the discussion of the actual ways of dwelling, which are not limited to the house or the apartment buy they also mean dwelling a neighborhood, a residential area, a city, a region, a country, a culture, the nature.
