ALARCON ZAMBRANO, Jaime Alfredo. Theoretical model for the sustainable city. Revista San Gregorio [online]. 2023, vol.1, n.55, pp.138-157. ISSN 2528-7907.  https://doi.org/10.36097/rsan.v1i55.2522.

The objective of this study was framed in proposing a theoretical model for the sustainable city. For this, a bibliographic, descriptive and content analysis of the characteristics that, for this type of city, several authors propose, was used. The documentary research inquired about the city as satisfying, and about the theoretical statements issued by various authors, considered reliable because they are criteria of renowned professionals dedicated to the investigation of the subject of study, about the particularities that the sustainable city should have. Among the most revealing findings, it stands out that the sustainable city must not only include urban typologies and standards, but also the full exercise of human rights. The main conclusions establish that the sustainable city must be: a physical space with dense, diverse, integrating, efficient and green environments, environments that must be included in urban planning and regulations; and it must be considered as a space that satisfies justice, inclusion, production, culture, security, participation and education, which are considered basic human needs that constitute universal human rights.

Keywords : sustainable city; human rights; satisfying space; theoretical model; sustainability..
