The text explores the complexity of urban experience through an anthropological lens and the connection between urban space and spirituality. The author starts from his epistemological positioning and analyzes the relationship between contemporary cities and evangelical principles, drawing on the text “Evangelii Gaudium” (EG). The text highlights how the modern and post-modern city is characterized by a number of contradictions, such as anonymity and mobility, which offer challenges but also opportunities to build bonds and meaningful places. The author points out how urbanization and marginalization of urban areas are the result of political and economic processes, which create places of exclusion and socioeconomic exploitation. However, these same marginal areas can become spaces of revelation, where divine presence can be discovered and social justice can be promoted. The anthropological approach suggests a way of inhabiting the world that focuses on listening, respecting and understanding subjects and their connections to space. The text calls for a new form of urban design that recognizes and values the ability of inhabitants to transform space through ties and relationships. These ties, based on values of solidarity, justice and mutual recognition, can help create more humane and inclusive urban spaces.
