![]() This mirror reflects back to us, in a sometimes extreme and distorted way, our own situations and problems, as well as our intentions in the public policy interventions that we organize, sometimes in an experimental manner. The experiences of the cities of Dakar and Porto Alegre are very interesting if we want to understand the globalization/metropolization couple, not only for the South but also for the North: the situations and problems encountered in the South are often like a reflection in a mirror. Through the two examples presented in this sheet, we discover both what weight represents, for the inhabitants of the city (Dakar), an instrumentalization guided by globalization and the new metropolisations that result from it  but also to what extent (Porto Alegre) a democratic urban management, through the participation of the populations, is a possible way for a viable human urbanization and the elaboration of equitable, ecologically viable socio-economic dynamics, where scientific and participative co-expertise plays a central role. Today, we cannot help but take seriously the context of globalization, which is a truncated globalization, breaking down the processes of organization and communalization of cities.
