Citizenship and Development in the XXI Cities: Polis and Civitas or Just Urbs? Year of publication: 2016 Author: Joselito Fernández Tapia The article aims to determine the problems of the city as polis, civitas and urbs, to identify its characteristics and emphasize the serious problem that means the centrality of the urbs in the modern city. It analyzes aspects of public space, citizenship and city, as interrelated, recovering from urban studies, political and social analysis of the city, to better characterize their problems. From the literature and existing studies we found that civitas and polisare in crisis, and reduced danger of disappearing, to result in a urbs, utilitarian and less and less symbolic value. The result is poverty, greater inequality and social fragmentation, fear, insecurity, isolation, weakening of the civitas and polis, disenfranchisement, depoliticization and dehumanization; against the hegemonic and development of real estate market. It is concluded that dominates the urbs, which, as all the problems of the city needs to be rethought from the civitas and polis. Ciudadanía y desarrollo en las ciudades del siglo XXI: ¿polis y civitas o sólo urbs? Year of publication: 2016 Author: Joselito Fernández Tapia El artículo tiene por objetivo determinar la problemática de la ciudad como polis, civitas y urbs, para identificar sus características y enfatizar el grave problema que significa la centralidad de la urbs en la ciudad moderna. Analiza los aspectos del espacio público, la ciudadanía y la ciudad de forma interrelacional; recupera los estudios desde el análisis urbanístico, político y social de la ciudad para caracterizar mejor la problemática de ésta. A partir de la reflexión teórica y los estudios existentes se encuentra que civitas y polis están en crisis, reducidas y en peligro de desaparición para dar lugar a una urbs utilitaria y con cada vez menos valor simbólico. El resultado de ello es pobreza, mayores desigualdades y fragmentación social; miedo, inseguridad, aislamiento, debilitamiento de la civitas y de la polis como proceso de desciudadanización, despolitización y deshumanización frente a la urbanización hegemónica de las inmobiliarias y el mercado. En conclusión, la urbs es dominante, por tanto, así como la problemática de la ciudad necesita repensarse desde la civitas y la polis.
