Abstract
The integration of the various ideological views by the academic community around the great problems facing
the planet has allowed the establishment of a complex system of practical and theoretical relationships between
man and nature, generating a strong connection between sustainable development and human development, and
conferring greater prominence to the role of human beings, according to their powers, liberties and actions for
achieving and maximizing their individual and collective well-being. In this regard, this chapter aims to analyze the
influence of the human context in the historical conceptualization of development and its relation with human
and planetary well-being over the past 50 years. We try to prove that when it comes to development from the
human perspective or from the perspective of sustainability, it tends towards the same discourse that enables
convergence and evolution of the concept of development into a much less utopian trend, with greater scope
and application under the scientific paradigm of sustainability in terms of human welfare.
