Abstract
This epilogue reviews how social groups have imagined better urban futures and other citiesCities in the face of catastrophic situations. The cityCities is a social and historical product built by generations of people so that human beings can live better in society. This is why most of humanity lives in “citiesCities”. However, various fundamentally economic and political processes are leading to the material and symbolic death of the cityCities. Therefore, the cityCities no longer unites, integrates and relates people. Recognizing and understanding the causes of this destruction is essential to build and defend the cityCities and to dispute the future of the public cityCities against market forces. The epilogue recognizes people’s capacity for resistance and recovery in adverse conditions. For this reason, utopias as well as futuristic visions of science fiction, architectureArchitecture and urban planningUrban planning are reviewed, and the historyHistory of urban destruction and the reconstructionReconstruction of citiesCities is learned, since this is part of the recovery of identities and collective memories, mourning and social reconciliation. If the end of the cityCities is drawing near, as various pieces of evidence support, many social groups and scholars recognize that another end of the cityCities is possible.
