The city is framed as a place of encounter, solidarity and fraternity, despite the challenges and contradictions it may present. The periphery becomes the true center of the city, the beating heart where the challenges and possibilities of building authentic bonds and promoting justice through a social and cultural covenant that respects and includes the different worldviews and lifestyles present in urban society are manifested.
