| Summary: | This essay shows that the university was one of the means of consolidating and stimulating the city through a process of professionalization supported in a scientific, objective and disciplined epistemological approach. This was transmitted to and reproduced in university classrooms through the graduates and their consultancy services. Both function as vehicles to transmit a vision of development based on economic growth, industrialization and urbanization. This vision has been realized but not exclusively in the city. Its limitations are becoming increasingly evident. Some of those are related to atomized interventions and dispersal of professionals who by trying to overcome some issues tend to reproduce the existing issues or create new ones. For this reason this essay concludes with the proposal for a more synergic relationship between city and university. It requires an epistemological shift where existing specialized knowledge
is complemented with a trans-disciplinary and interdisciplinary
approach. |
