The Western/Northern modernity and its peak during the period between-wars was continuously copied-pasted, trying to adapting it to lower latitudes of the southern hemisphere since the second half of the Twentieth century. Ignoring the opposite starting conditions of the urban south, its different pre-existences, local traditions, cultural dimension, possible well-thought solutions and approaches where totally ignored for the urban south, choosing instead in most of the cases to stretch and scale a process of modernization created by different means, worsening already difficult situations and leading to giant failures.
