This text refl ects on how the tension between urbanization and settlement exposes inhabitants to a constant state of stress and depression. Which points them towards harmful habits, leading to chronic degenerative diseases. Therefore, the city is not a space oriented to the welfare of the subjects.

Because, the factors that allow achieving well-being, which are places, objects, goods and health, are not taken into account. Hence, well-being, has a strong link with space, time and society. Where urbanization, would have to produce those harmonic spaces, which allow development, both physical and mental as well as economic.
