Global urbanism

Global Urbanism is the name created by the Architect Matias Sambarino in his 2012 essay "Architecture, how should it proceed? A proposal for its progression in the XXI Century” to designate a manner of study and think the urban space and human habitat in which a city or all of them only can be understood thoroughly as part of a global system of human interrelations.
The central idea is that the human space as a whole (urban spaces included) is the physical structure of a self-organized (where emerge spontaneous order) global system of human society. With this premise, the human habitat evolves accordingly with the constant metamorphosis and transformations generated in human interactions that have incidence over its proper social structure and over the territory.

In this approach the urban planning only can be successful if take into account this becoming and act consequently.
Transitively, if the human habitat is the structure of a self-organized system of its social network it only can be compressively and effectively treated as intrinsically tied with the global environment. In this regard, the human habitat can be and should be, in whole or in any part, collaborative with its proper environment.
