Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to undermine the thesis about the hegemonic nature of the heritage of European colonization in South America. The author analysed examples borrowed from the celebrated Columbian film: Embrace of the Serpent, directed by Ciro Guerra, and, predominantly, new ideas and solutions associated with questioning European town planning and architectural models. The global career of the idea of the so-called informal city makes it possible to treat South America as a continent of a new urban revolution as well as to alter ways of thinking about the directions of the flux of knowledge.
