Abstract: Abstract The planet is experiencing a tendency of people to be concentrated in the cities to such an extent that the future of humanity can be considered urban. The intensity of the phenomenon of urbanization creates the need to review the development models of cities guided by innovation in terms of sustainability and resilience. With the world's countries highly interconnected through open borders, technology and high mobility, knowledge is diffused and shared almost in real time, fostering the conditions for collaboration, networking and entrepreneurship on a wider scale. In this context, the urban development model of the innovation districts has been created, with a presence in many countries of the world and with a dynamic that is capable of cultivating the ground for cities prepared to manage potential crises with tools such as innovation, clusters, knowledge workers, in order to offer essential solution for the flourishing of the anthropocentric environment.
