Abstract

The dysfunctions of cities and metropolises throughout the world, and the impacts they cause on the Earth’s systems, the probable population explosion and the incidence of new technolo­gies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in urban systems are problems that create great uncertainty that forces us to increase our battered anticipation capacity. Current urban planning does not have -in my opinion- the theoretical or instrumental framework to address the challenges of this beginning of the century. Ecosystem urbanism considers the city as an ecosystem (one of the characteristics of eco­systems is its scalarity) and establishes the urban model and the principles of ecosystem urbanism that fill it with content, defining - at the same time- the system of proportions and urban balances. The superblock (20 Ha) is also established as the minimum urban ecosystem unit capable of integrat­ing the set of principles of ecosystemic urbanism.
