Resumen

Sustainable development, together with the objectives set by the United Nations Organization (2015-2030), seek, among other things, for human communities to be safe, resilient, sustained and sustainable. The SDG11, specifically, commits to joint work, to overcome social inequalities, to provide access to housing, to carry out urban management; that is to say, it points out the importance of the city as an axis of social growth. However, the asymmetric context of the region leads to segregation, to unfinished agendas that do not end up addressing the structural problems that condition development within the city. By virtue of the above, the article analyzes the importance of SDG11 and its possible implementation in the Latin American social context, characterized by overpopulation, violence, crime, corruption, insecurity, construction of cities in risky places, among other additional factors. With these pages it is not intended to reach definitive positions, but rather to broaden the discussion that revolves around this unresolved issue in regional spaces.
