Descripción
Sumario:The main thesis supported in this article is that the city environment can not be seen as the focus of diseases, psychological dis­ tress and social problems. Rather, experi­ encing the city should be studied as a positive experience where the city and par­ ticularly the public places should be taken as opportunities for growing and learning. The article presents a series of concepts to grasp the transactions individuals have with their city environment. These concepts are intended to explain how people behave in the public space and contribute to create urban identity. It is proposed that concepts such as place, urban identity, environmen­ tal control and educating city can be taken in consideration for educational purposes and urban planning in the forthcoming mega-cities.
