The Basin-City is a territorial theoretical approach that arises to understand the relationship between the natural and social system from the analogy of three fundamental concepts of biology: the phenotype, genotype and Symbiogenesis. These elements analysis elements are proposed as means to understand the complex relationship that exists between the natural and social system that come from the transformation and use of watersheds. Considering that the watershed is the analysis unit par excellence for environmental planning, it is more than necessary to consider that this must be embedded in a social dimension, not only in ecological. Therefore, with the exposition of these elements it's desired to move from a purely natural level to a socionatural level that exceeds basic analysis of biotic and abiotic systems that make up ecosystems.

Keywords : Watershed; city; ecosystem; culture.
