Abstract  

Exclusion based on stigma is distinguishable from other forms of marginalization because it depends on social consensus about the targets that tends to be shared among a set of people, and is often accompanied by a social justification or supportive ideology for moral segregation. Today more than ever, it is clear through the immense migratory movements, which the provision of a safe and stable place to live cannot be taken for granted. The current world does not offer the conditions of minimum habitability for millions of people. So, what happens when man and habitat do not coincide due to migrating movements? Most of the immigrating parties are uprooted human beings in search of land, looking for a corner in the planet to live, where everyone is entitled to basic rights and freedom. Immigration right is not an issue of ideology, historical debts or revenge, nor donations or contracts; it is a matter of commitment to the Fundamental Rights of Man to ensure a better global future. Considering immigrants world citizens and faced by this type of circumstances we should wonder, what kind of response do these human beings deserve from the self-named Space Designers? What is the true commitment of Urbanists and Architects, if any, within society? Do they have to take positions like that doctor who, forgetting his economic status, turns altruistically to the resolution of others’ pain? Does Culture establish binding commitments to those who are professionally prepared to exercise a job? Should it?
