MANSUR, Juan Carlos. The city, narrative place of life. Andamios [online]. 2020, vol.17, n.43, pp.59-70.  Epub Sep 27, 2021. ISSN 2594-1917.  https://doi.org/10.29092/uacm.v17i43.764.

This article explains the causes of the loss of life experience in modern and cosmopolitan city, the criticisms of its language that isolates citizens, nullifies their feeling of life and how hermeneutics seeks to restore the narrative and life of cities through recovering an anthropological vision that explains how people relate to space and live the city from a free and creative experience that founds meeting places that brings cities back to life and makes them narrative places of life.
