This article contributes to the analyses of social theories implicated in multiple scales. To this end, the program proposed is divided in three stages. First, we understand our historical moment as a period marked by global crises, with a social diagnosis observing productive restructuration and collective experiences. In the second part, we argue that thinking and acting in multiple scales, implies building spaces that anticipate another society, but at the same time, it is necessary to accumulate forces in the decision-making centers and converge on the idea of a new social project. In the third moment, we look for disciplinary redefinitions in urban studies that allow urban planners and architects to focus more directly on a transformative urban culture, that is, to participate in a radical and urban democracy.
