    El artículo plantea que el diseño urbano puede mejorar el comportamiento humano al proporcionar espacios públicos de alta calidad. El marco teórico utilizado para sustentar esta afirmación comprende las siguientes teorías: Nuevo Urbanismo, Urbanismo Social, Teoría de la escala humana de Gehl y la Teoría de Capital Social; las cuales comparten la ideología de que el diseño urbano es un medio para un fin superior, que es la cohesión social.En primer lugar, haremos una breve descripción de la performance del Diseño Urbano en las últimas décadas para desentrañar qué éxitos y fracasos nos han llevado a desarrollar nuestra perspectiva actual hacia la ciudad y luego analizaremos la problemática urbana latinoamericana, para concluir con sugerencias sobre la metodología apropiada para encararla.

    The article argues that urban design can improve human behaviour by providing high quality public spaces. The theoretical framework used to support this statement includes the following theories: New Urbanism, Social Urbanism, Gehl’s Human scale Theory and Social Capital Theory; which share the ideology that urban design is a means to a higher end, which is social cohesion.First, we will make a brief descriptionof Urban Design's performance in the last decades to unravel what successes and failures have led us to develop our current perspective towards the city, and then we will analyse Latin America’s urban problems, to conclude with suggestions on the methodology appropriate to face it
