The issue of diasporas, observed in the displacement of populations across the globe, is a pressing topic. Everyone is in search of a dream: the city as a welcoming shelter for those whom life's adversities have expelled from their lands. To conceive of this CITY that people can call home, in times of diaspora, we need UTOPIA. The city that does not yet exist is a possible city, or even more: it is the construction of an ideal of urban experiences grounded in hospitality and solidarity.

· INTRODUCTION ·
The social catastrophe in Latin America has its epicenter in informal settlements.
Latin America, the most urbanized and unequal region in the world, is home to 104 million people living in informal settlements. Here, one in four urban residents lives in a slum, shantytown, favela, or encampment, in conditions of poverty. While not invisible, these populations are often rendered invisible, forced to survive on their own terms while facing constant rights violations and the exhausting test of their resilience.
