The text explores the concept of spirituality in urban spaces, analyzing how ethics can guide the design and transformation of cities through a balance between two ethical approaches: one based on the regulation of actions (related to law and norm), and the other centered on the search for meaning and the “good life” (oriented toward purpose and values). The idea of spirituality of places is examined broadly, without being limited to a religious connotation. Spirituality is seen as giving meaning to urban spaces through three main aspects: Memory, community and critical wisdom.
