Is there a future for our cities if we do not adopt a sustainable way of life? For some time, urban sustainability has been approached more from the perspective of climate change than from a holistic vision that integrates society and how we live as a community.

What new ways of living are we experiencing amidst today's social, economic, and ecological shifts? We must bring to the table the various reference cases emerging around the world to understand the latest trends in how we inhabit our cities.

We invited you, our readers, to not only be the first to share examples of co-living, cooperatives, and any new forms of social housing you consider benchmarks, but also to leave your reflections on the matter in an open call for opinions. After reviewing the vast number of responses from building professionals, students, and architecture enthusiasts, we were struck by the widespread consensus: we can no longer remain in cities that lack both ecological and social responsibility. Read some of the featured comments below.
