Summary

This motion presents theoretical reflections about the psychosocial sustainability of urban areas. The factors that make towns and cities psycho-socially untenable are analysed, together with those that, on the contrary, promote habitability of such places: in particular, an analysis is made of the relational factors, representations and identities, synthesised in what has been designated the"psycho-social link". In line with sustainable development of cities, cognitive elements of identification with an affective value should be encouraged, together with processes and places of relationship and participation that reconstruct or contribute to the subjective and group construction of the psychological link.
