The following thesis presents a study developed during July 2023 and July 2024 on the territory of Caracas, capital city of Venezuela, in relation to the political, economic, social and humanitarian crisis that has unfolding throughout the 2000’s. The research focuses on how this crisis shaped the generation of citizens born and raised in Caracas during this period, called in this research The Lost Generation, and its impact on citizen relations and the use of the city. The examination of how the unfulfilled promises and urban dysfunctions of Caracas manifest as urban failures that affect identity, community and historical continuity is carried out through a historical and critical analysis of Caracas spanning the periods of conquest, independence, national founding, oil discovery and exploitation, and the current crisis of the 21st Century.
