Sustainable cities: the construction a new paradigm from the philosophical hermeneutics Hans-Georg Gadamer

Abstract

Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics broadens and detaches itself from the scientific model, which no longer meets the demands, and offers answers to solve the environmental crisis Philosophical hermeneutics proposes to overcome dogmatic paradigms and assists in the construction of paradigms that are more appropriate to the environmental changes faced by contemporary society. This work focuses on the construction of a new paradigm for the realization of sustainable cities, from the legal and philosophical perspectives, discussing not only the institutional and normative elements related to the issue, but also and, mainly, the social implications, suggesting an emergency view to face the problems, and alternative ideas and paths to the realization of the right to a sustainable city.
