tourism, to effect through the use of the tool of the strategic planning. A brief conclusive mention
comes, finally, turned to how much legislated in subject of tourism in Sicily.
Nutrire Roma: il ruolo dell’agricoltura urbana nel fenomeno urbano
Authors: Cavallo Aurora , Di Donato Benedetta , Guadagno Rossella , Marino Davide
Published: July 2022

Scopo di questa nota è di esaminare i caratteri e le dinamiche che connotano l’agricoltura
urbana nel caso di Roma. Il contributo sintetizza in chiave evolutiva i fatti stilizzati del rapporto
tra città e campagna, successivamente si indaga il contesto produttivo agricolo al fine di
proporre una tassonomia dei tipi di agricoltura urbana. Il tentativo che qui si propone è una
preliminare lettura dell’agricoltura urbana attraverso un sistema di criteri per la classificazione
della distribuzione funzionale e relazionale del primario in aree metropolitane. Tali categorie
interpretative tentano di ricostruire le relazioni causali che traducono i modelli produttivi agricoli
(caratteristiche strutturali, ordinamenti, forme giuridiche, forme d’uso delle risorse naturali,
collocazione), in specifiche forme spaziali e funzionali nella dimensione urbana – fisica e sociale
-. Sul piano teorico tale lettura s’inserisce nel paradigma coevolutivo e guarda al paesaggio
come il risultato delle interazioni tra il sistema ambientale e l’agire dell’uomo che abita e utilizza
il territorio (Marino e Cavallo, 2009). Una sintesi tipologica definitiva sembra ancora un obiettivo
da raggiungere, sicuramente questo è il primo passo verso la costruzione di una griglia
interpretativa e di un vocabolario tipologico da mettere poi a sistema con i dati morfologici e
quelli di uso del suolo.

The aim of this paper is to examine the characteristics and the dynamics that characterize
urban agriculture in the case of Rome. We summarize in an evolutionary approach the stylized facts of the relationship between town and country, then we investigate the context of
agricultural production in order to propose a taxonomy of the types of urban agriculture. The
effort proposed here is a preliminary analysis of urban agriculture through a system of criteria
for the classification of the distribution of the functional and relational features of agricultural
activities in metropolitan areas. These interpretative categories attempt to reconstruct the
causal relationships that translate agricultural production models (farms’ data, legal forms, use
of natural resources, localization), in specific forms in the spatial and functional urban dimension
- physical and social - . On the theoretical level this analysis is embedded in the co-evolutionary
paradigm and looks to the landscape as the result of interactions between the environmental
system and the action of human who lives and uses the territory (Marino and Cavallo, 2009).
This typization ultimately still seems a goal to achieve, this is the first step towards the
construction of an interpretative and vocabulary typological then be systematize with the
morphological data and those of land use.
Car-free cities: urban utopia or real perspective?
Authors: Bieda Krzysztof
Published: July 2022

The appalling conditions of many 19th century industrial cities, brought by the Industrial Revolution, triggered numerous ideas and concepts looking for a better form of urban environment. Although most of the ideas may be today categorized as utopian, they had nevertheless significantly influenced urban development and heralded, at that time, the emergence of the Modernist City. With time, the Modernist City grew increasingly car-dependent. The crisis of the contemporary “Automobile City” stimulates, yet again, efforts to develop visions for a new, better city, free from ill-effects of car traffic. These visions may also fall into category of urban utopia, but they hopefully will, like in the past, set new directions in urban development and contribute to emergence of a new city form. Numerous research, planning and design works up today allow to speculate on the emerging new urban design paradigm. The visions of a future “Post Automobile City” go generally in two directions: a radical Car-free City model entirely devoid of automobile and – less radical - a Sustainable Mobility City, offering diverse modes of movement and related diverse life styles. The latter concepts would comprise both city forms: entirely car-free zones and “ordinary” urban areas accessible for cars, but more habitable due to priorities for pedestrian, bike and transit movement. We already observe growing number of car-free neighborhoods, mostly in the cities of Western Europe. They usually do not differ physically from ordinary housing complexes, other than added car- free arrangements. However, like in the past, we can expect that new urban forms will start to evolve following ongoing changes in urban transport. The paper attempts to answer the question if, and how, future changes towards sustainable mobility, may influence urban form, and in particular, how car-free residential areas in future cities may look like.
Governing urban planning diversity: the use of internal diversity in metropolitan area spatial planning
Authors: Bonenberg Wojciech
Published: July 2022

In this paper spatial, functional, social and cultural aspects of the problem of governing urban diversity are analysed. Economical use of diversity as an element driving urban economies is highlighted. It is indicated that the post-industrial reality imposes a need for a new attitude towards the role and place of diversity in the spatial and economic development of a city. The concept of rejuvenating urban structures based on diversity is presented and governance strategies are categorised. It is revealed that spatial diversity is a key resource of a metropolitan area, driving its growth as well as the performance of social and economic goals. Results of research on Poznan metropolitan area spatial diversity are presented: 6 types of relations are highlighted, which made it possible to assess the current level of diversity governance within the discussed areas. As a result three primary levels are identified at which diversity governance should be implemented as the basis for planning metropolitan areas’ spatial development. It is determined that governing diversity is an effective development model for these areas.
Urban design competition as a tool for planning the future of cities: case studies in Poland
Authors: Bradecki Tomasz
Published: July 2022

The compact city paradigm is very often described as compact (dense), mixed use settlements. Masterplans for crucial areas in cities play a major role for future development of cities. The most strategic and important sites are often a subject of urban design competitions – calls for proposals for future development ideas. Some of the competition entries are only a subject for a brainstorming discussion about the future of the cities or its parts. Some of winning entries become basis for real masterplans which are implemented later. In this article several case studies of competitions and its results have been presented. Also, a methodology classification has been proposed. Also a classification has been proposed. Three case studies of urban design competitions has been discussed: Wygoda settlement' in Bia³ystok, Gizynek settlement in Stargard Szczeciñski and city centre of Goleniów.
The findings of the research on this case study help us understand whether competitions might be used as a tool for future city 'modeling'. The author is a researcher and also an architect and urban designer, as well as the author of many competition entries.
Return to the idea of homely city
Authors: Czałczyńska-Podolska Magdalena , Rzeszotarska-Pałka Magdalena
Published: July 2022

Homeliness is associated with something friendly and well-known. The idea of homeliness in architecture and urban planning does not mean only people-friendly space. First of all, it means the city that is familiar to the citizens, what cannot be realized without specific conditions - creation of the feeling of being part of the community, possession and identity. The antithesis of the city - agricultural landscape - seems to be the perfect basis for them. Can the idea of homeliness be created based on the relationship between the town and its opposition? How can the "lost" agricultural landscape" work as a catalyst of the idea of homeliness and community integration?
In the article, there will be the attempt of answer to these questions given. New ideas, such Agrarian Urbanism or Urban Horticulture will be presented and discussed. Throughout the world, research is on-going to develop techniques for assimilating agriculture into an urbanism acceptable to the expectations of modern life. The ability to grow food has implications for communities on multiple levels: from food security and health issues, to ensuring a local economy and to the social benefits of a productive activity in which all members of a community can engage. In Agrarian Urbanism a whole society is involved with the growing of food: people can have gardens instead of yards, or community gardens and even window boxes if they live in an apartment. Can these ideas create new ways of thinking about the contemporary city?
Railway stations as generators of systemic repair of the city centre of Katowice: return to the essence of the city
Authors: Franta Julian
Published: July 2022

The debate on the essence of the city calls for the consideration of the role of its structural elements in the loss or strengthening of this essence. The Author’s understanding of the ‘essence of the city’ is its accessibility and diversity: accessibility of diversity and diversified accessibility. In this context, the subject matter of this paper is an analysis of the role of railway stations and the public spaces that accompany them upon the example of Katowice.
The inner edge of landscape
Authors: Świątek Wojciech
Published: July 2022

This paper attempts to describe the specific urban-architectural forms that emerge in the space between the traces of the urban fabric, disintegrating into a chaotic, dispersed and deteriorating structures and landscape. The unregulated expansion of civilization into nature is not only a planning and structural problem, but also an economic and social one. While discussing the possibility of halting urbanization on open areas (in reality, when planning is the object and not the subject of the economy), the author focuses on the phenomenon of the domestic sprawl. In Poland, this problem equally affects large cities (which is widely described in the literature as urban sprawl) as well as small towns and villages, which is defined by the author as the rural sprawl. The paper uses the term inner edge of the landscape understood as a virtual boundary between the areas with dominant forms of human activity from the space defined by the elements of the natural landscape. The concept of the inner edge of the landscape is formulated as a structure of typological units (point / trail / region) that allow you to indirectly limit the development by exposing cultural values.While many researchers searching for the new forms of centrality (for the construction of identity - in areas where urbanization steps in or the concentration of activities on greenfield sites), the objective of this paper is to define the rules of maintaining the remoteness. It is hypothesized that urbanly and architecturally defined peripheral spaces (edges), can be a stimulus for the emergence of public places in the landscape, whitch can limit its urbanization.
Times of no spatial relationships: retrospection in space on the example of modern and historic settlements in the Karkonosze
Authors: Wojtas Harań Anna
Published: July 2022

The aim of the work is:
- Presentation of the critical points in management of cities and villages in the system of services institutions, which is essential to the proper functioning of society and the shaping of space. This subject was raised to answer the question whether the new social behavior can affect the classical principles of organization of space? In particular, can one affect the management of settlement units in the facilities of social services? Currently, in fact a man meets some of his needs in an unreal way (e.g., via electronic techniques), without any limits of distance, space (e.g., by means of transport ), because of the development of social and economic life.
- Propose planning solutions for mountain villages located in the Karkonosze, presenting opportunities for development or a stable existence. They have been prospering through its history blending with its architecture and arrangement of buildings in the mountain nature exemplary. Currently, some of which are experiencing difficulties caused by, among others, changes in the modern world, so-called fusion of real and virtual space. There are monofunctional or deprived of basic functions settlements not meeting the residents` needs.
The issues were analyzed by the use of case studies method. This led to a selection of specific examples of the phenomenon of the social centers disappearance, shut down of service infrastructure, and on the contrary strengthen their local position. It was assumed that the combination of the contemporary image with their historical forms of settlement can help to find the synthesis of virtual and the real world.
As a result of the analyze, it was found:
- Elimination of the complementary network of services contributes to minimizing the village in the settlement system. New social customs may even intensify this state;
- Gradual modernization of services leads to prosperity of settlement, using new media opportunities;
- Reasonable use of potential space of information technology space can contribute to improved well- being and changes in the mountain village.
EU migrant crisis and increasing demand for modular construction: modular social housing complex for refugees in Munich
Authors: Woźniak-Szpakiewicz Ewelina
Published: July 2022

More than a million migrants and refugees crossed into Europe in 2015. The number of asylum applications received in 2014 in EU Member States has risen by 25 per cent compared to the same period in 2013 and it is still increasing (The UN Refugee Agency). The current migrant crisis in Europe is described as the most serious since the Second World War. Reception Centers that provide homes for asylum-seekers and refugees, both as individuals and families, in most EU countries are overcrowded. Due to a growing problem of the luck of infrastructural facilities, the topic of modular construction is more and more relevant in european context.
The article deals with the problematic of increasing demand for modular buildings as an answer (time, and cost effective) for European migrant crisis that requires delivery of the housing infrustructes in a very short time frame. The author asking the question about the near future of the modular social housing. How would it reflect on urban-space, living-space and whole attitude to modular construction issues? What is the role of the architect during the process of design-build? Is it possible to make references to “beauty” in the context of modular construction? The focus will be placed on the project based on permanent modular construction (PMC) - the modular social housing complex, implemented in July 2015 in Munich (scientific partner of the project is the Faculty of Architecture, Cracow University of Technology).
Present-day architect is an urban designer
Authors: Małgorzata Mizia
Published: July 2022

The range and scope of an architect’s tasks has shifted: from that of a designer burdened with responsibility for the shape and effectiveness of architecture, to that of a director (animator) of urban space, responsible for the smooth and undisturbed direction of the spectacle taking place within the urban space, of the incessant, simultaneous and unbroken continuum of the mutually interactive scenes from the life of the City. Architecture, or rather urban space, has become a scenography for the synergistic holistic/multidirectional activities sustaining the life of the residents and making the uses and functions of architecture more effective. Programmers, directors, animators of culture, city mayors, grassroots initiatives of the residents, wealthy investors – all of these organizers of urban space should have equal rights and prerogatives in the process of ARRANGING URBAN SPACE.
Does a present-day city still need architects?
Considerations on the collective mobility vs individual mobility: new actors and forces
Authors: Chavoya Gama Jorge Ignacio , Rodríguez Ávalos Macedonio León , Rendón Contreras Héctor Javier
Published: July 2022

In this article it is analyzed as it is that the metropolitan transport appears like a multitude of intense flows of origin-destination of goods and persons who make possible the interconnection between the different areas of the metropolis for the achievement of the basic activities in the ambience of the cities. Also addressing the issue of infrastructure and equipment increasingly complex and demanding of resources along with a supply of varied modes of transport. It also discusses about the causal links between transport and urban expansion in the case of the metropolitan transport, as well as of its link and interinfluence with other fundamental dimensions, that we will address in detail such as the environmental and social-urban, among others.
Detecting opportunities: neighbourhood data dynamics for urban regeneration in Valladolid (Spain)
Authors: Rivas Sanz Juan Luis de las , Fernández-Maroto Miguel , Rodrigo González Enrique , Pérez-Eguíluz Victor
Published: July 2022

Urban regeneration has become a priority for urban planning in Spain, because it is one of the best ways to foster a more sustainable, compact and mixed-use urban model, founded in the improvement of existing city. The Master Plan of Valladolid (Spain) has been an opportunity to tackle this objective by a thorough study of existing urban fabrics, in order to program future actions and projects.
The built city was divided into units, and each of them was carefully analysed in order to identify opportunities for improvement, such as vacant spaces or deprived areas. Every regeneration action was then designed to also generate a positive impact on its surroundings, which requires knowing the needs and structural deficits of each neighbourhood. That’s why a homogeneous “neighbourhood data system” was created, in order to propose the most appropriate action for each case.
However, "measuring" the city is a difficult task. There are different official sources of urban data, but they are not oriented to this kind of evaluation. For instance, census data have lost accuracy due to its new methodology (2011), and their level of disaggregation is often inadequate. Other sources such as Cadastre are aimed at tax purposes and they must therefore be reinterpreted.
Just one housing bubble? an analysys of spatial segmentation of the residencial values over time in Barcelona
Authors: Ballús Martínez Mireia , Marmolejo Duarte Carlos Ramiro
Published: July 2022

During the last real estate cycle most of the countries have experienced a housing bubble linked to the expansion of credit, increasing residential values dramatically. Despite the globalization of financial markets, this increase has not had the same impact on all the countries concerned. For this reason, this research analyzes the spatial variation in property values during this period in the case of the city of Barcelona. From the hypothesis that the areas where the population lives with lower qualifications and general education, and in particular financial education, these areas have had more variation in residential values in relation to those areas inhabited by well-off population. Additionally, these historically disadvantaged areas have been the culmination of the extra-EU immigration, which has incentive the dynamics of the real estate market. To test this hypothesis, it is carried out a descriptive analysis of the evolution of scale multifamily values districts and neighborhoods, as well as an econometric analysis to explain this variation. The results confirm the initial hypothesis and suggest the existence of a spatial segmentation of the housing market during both inflation and deflation of the housing bubble. Namely, the poorest neighborhoods have experienced sharped bubbles and busts compared to wealthy areas of the city.
The challenge of the last few years: planning against poverty, microfinance
Authors: Carta Giuseppe
Published: July 2022

The last ten years have witnessed a heightened interest in infrastructure in both developed and developing countries, with emphasis on the financial crisis in developed countries, and the recurring attention on growth and poverty reduction. An edition of the UN Report underlines the choices available to policymakers across the range of economic, social, cultural and political challenges that are needed to bridge the urban divide.
The term “inequality” has many different meanings. Shortly we describe how an indicator of economic well-being is distributed over a particular population. The coefficient or index is commonly used for measuring the grade of difference in size, income, wealth, costs, etc. Gini’s Coefficient (1921). Obviously the index only considers one aspect of difference, that of the distribution of income. The effect of social services which are administered directly, as for example, the Health Service and Education, even though they are extremely important for a substantial equality of rights and opportunities, is not taken into account.
As a group of eminent planning experts recognized in the Global Report on Human Settlements 2009: “Among the most significant challenges that urban planning has to address in the next few decades are increasing poverty and inequality, as well as the rapidly expanding urban sector.” Urbanization, therefore, does indeed play a positive role in overall poverty reduction, particularly where supported by well-adapted policies.
Spatial patterns of social mobility perception derived from access to social housing in a Mexican border city
Authors: Sánchez Flores Erick , Maycotte Pansza Elvira , Chávez Javier
Published: July 2022

Homeownership has become a crucial element in constructing and confirming social position in western societies. Housing can be an effective social mobility strategy. In the societies of developing countries, however, the potentially positive effects of homeownership might be hindered by financial conditions and quality of housing to which large population sectors can have access. Taking into account the main implications of housing access for social welfare and the unwanted effects produced by national housing policy in Mexico, due to the distortions of the housing and land markets, is necessary to assess if such a policy has produced the desired positive effects in terms of social mobility and if those are being perceived so by the beneficiary population. Thus, the objective of this study is to assess the perception of social mobility derived from the access to social housing in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua from 2002 to 2010. For this purpose, we derive and represent spatially three indices of households social mobility perception related to dwelling quality, complex location and urban environment, and housing ownership advantages of their current housing in comparison with their previous or parents´ homes. In general, we found that households have a perception of social descent derived from the quality of their new dwelling units; an even more pronounced perception of social descent with respect to the complex location and urban environment conditions; and a regular perception of social ascent with regards to the housing ownership advantages. These results indicate that the supposedly positive social effects of the national housing policy in Ciudad Juárez have not been fully deployed or at least perceived by the intended beneficiaries. This requires a review of the basic definitions of the policy and to emphasize the social character of housing provision in order to promote the conditions for ascending social mobility.
The fragile heart of the city: the case of Ragusa, Sicily
Authors: Franchini Ado , Maggiore Carlo Alberto
Published: July 2022

The conference introduces one of the international workshops we organized in 2014-15 about urban regeneration. The selected theme for the Ragusa Workshop concerned the regeneration of the historic centre of Ragusa Superiore, the “new town” built on a higher plateau after the earthquake which destroyed the old city in 1693. The historic centre, shaped with a compact gridiron plan, embeds several late-baroque monuments for which was declared an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002.
The denser part of this fabric, made of an extensive grid of small blocks, each composed by tiny lots, has gradually proved inadequate to accommodate the new housing needs, forcing residents to look elsewhere for more sustainable conditions. The strict regulation imposed on the whole historic centre has strongly contributed to freeze this condition, by preventing the necessary renewal process. The consequence has been a gradual depopulation of the old town that led to a large urban and social decay.
Using a multidisciplinary approach, the Workshop aimed to test “on-site” strategies for urban renewal that could suggest integrated solutions, to these several issues: preservation of architectural and urban character of the site, building and public space renovation, upgrading to current housing and circulation needs, creation of safety areas for both seismic and hydrogeological risks. In the conference we shall also introduce 3 Diploma Projects presented by our students in 2015 and 2016 in our school of Architecture in Milan Polytechnic University.
¡El libro de arquitectura ha muerto! ¡Viva el libro de arquitectura!
Authors: Longaron Marc
Published: July 2022

In the last years many voices have frivolized with the disappearance of bookstores and paper books. If we look at the data published regularly on the publishing world in Spain, I think we can analyze the situation.

As has happened with other professions that have suffered a sudden and marked economic decline, architecture books have experienced a setback in the last 15 years, a setback that, above all, can be observed in the average amount of book purchases per person that has fallen by more than 50%.

We are witnessing a paradigm shift in which small publishers are pushing the sector that had been slowed down. Traditional publishers have also made a move and have found new formulas to finance their editions.

We are witnessing a moment of transformation and evolution of the architecture book that we had not seen in many years and, therefore, a moment far removed from those pessimistic voices that predicted, and continue to do so, the end of the book, and especially the book of architecture.

 

Desde hace años se frivoliza con la desaparición de las librerías y de los libros en papel. Si observamos los datos publicados regularmente sobre el mundo editorial en España, creo que podremos analizar su situación.

Como ha sucedido con otras profesiones que han sufrido un declive económico repentino y acusado, los libros de arquitectura han experimentado un retroceso en los últimos 15 años, un retroceso que, sobre todo, puede observarse en el importe medio de compra de libros por persona que ha caído un más allá del 50 %.

Estamos asistiendo a un cambio de paradigma en el que son las pequeñas editoriales las que están empujando el sector que había quedado ralentizado. Las editoriales tradicionales también han movido ficha y han encontrado nuevas fórmulas para financiar sus ediciones.

Asistimos a un momento de transformación y evolución del libro de arquitectura que no habíamos visto en muchos años y, por tanto, a un momento muy alejado de aquellas voces pesimistas que auguraban, y lo siguen haciendo, el fin del libro, y en especial el de arquitectura.
Landscapes of architectural education -architecture, knowledge and existential wisdom
Authors: Pallasmaa Juhani
Published: July 2022

The very essence of learning also in any creative field is embedded more in the student’s sense of self and his/her image of the world than in information and facts. The promoters of a professionalist education seem to entirely dismiss this essential mental and existential perspective. This area of learning can appropriately be called personal growth. Education and learning in any creative field has to aim at the student’s individual and unique self, and the content of education is bound to be more existential than factual, related more with experiences and values than information.

The essence of learning is the gradual construction of an inner sense of goal, responsibility, ethical stance, and a combined sense of humility and pride. In my view, this polar attitude is most difficult to acquire.

Paradoxically, the essence of learning is essentially “un-learning”, or forgetting the learned facts. One must be able to forget them when they are many and one must have the great patience to wait until they come again.

Escenarios peatonales: del espacio compartido a la red exclusiva
Authors: León Vivanco María Fernanda
Published: July 2022

En el tiempo, los espacios peatonales han sido concebidos de distintas maneras:

como colonizadores del espacio urbano, como espacios definidos –mas no preferentes–

en una sección de calle diversificada, como espacios segregados de la vida

urbana, y recientemente, como elementos indispensables para garantizar la vitalidad

de un sector, barrio o población. En la mayoría de estos procesos, el peatón

se ha ido adaptando a los espacios resultantes de las diferentes intervenciones que

centran su atención en el vehículo.

Actualmente en las ciudades, se multiplican los espacios de prioridad peatonal

como una forma de reivindicar al individuo en la estructura urbana. Sin embargo,

en un sistema de movilidad tan desigual, es inevitable plantearse espacios

peatonales exclusivos, continuos y conectados, organizados en red, para devolver

al peatón aquello que la planificación y el vehículo le han arrebatado.

Over time, pedestrian spaces have been conceived to perform diverse roles such

as settlers of an urban space, as defined –but not preferred– spaces in a diversified

street section, as segregated spaces of urban life, and recently, as elements

that ensure the liveliness in an area, neighborhood or city. In the majority of the

mentioned roles, the pedestrian is the one who has been adapting to the resulting

spaces, the ones that have come from interventions that centralize the vehicle.

Currently, spaces that prioritize the pedestrian have been multiplied in the

cities with the aim of bringing people to the urban structure. However, in a

very imbalanced mobility system, it is absolutely necessary to plan exclusive and

continuous pedestrian areas, in a connected organized network, as a mean for

giving back to the pedestrian what the vehicle has taken away.
Urbanisme interior: la contribució de l’espai privat com a progrés d’allò públic en la ciutat contemporània: aplicació al cas de Barcelona
Authors: Gratacòs Batlle Ricard
Published: July 2022

L’objectiu principal de l’article és mostrar que la qualitat de l’espai urbà es manté, en gran part, pendent del
grau de l’afortunada associació aconseguida entre allò públic i allò privat. S’hi planteja la paradoxa de fixarse
en els interiors privats per conèixer millor l’espai públic de la ciutat de Barcelona. L’article s’estructura en
tres parts. En la primera aproximació es realitza un recorregut cronològic a través de projectes i iniciatives
particulars que han introduït una dimensió pública a la ciutat. En la segona es vol mostrar de quina manera
determinats espais públics es poden llegir a través de la incidència que hi tenen els espais interiors que
l’acompanyen. En l’última aproximació s’hi recull l’anàlisi iniciat a través de diverses reglamentacions
urbanes de cara a examinar els instruments i recursos coercitius utilitzats per regular aspectes relatius a
l’interior d’edificis i parcel·les amb incidència directa en les qualitats de l’espai públic immediat.

The main goal of this paper is to show how the quality of urban space remains, largely, depending on the
degree of success achieved in the association between public and private. It presents the paradox of
focusing on private interiors in order to understand better Barcelona’s public space. The paper is divided in
three parts: The first one performs a chronological journey through private initiatives and projects that
introduce a public dimension in the city. The second shows how certain public spaces can be read through
the effect of interior spaces around them. The last part includes an analysis initiated through various urban
regulations in order to examine the tools and coercive resources used to regulate aspects of buildings and
plots that have an immediately and direct impact on the quality of urban public space.

relación y necesidad existentes entre los procesos de planificación y la participación ciudadana, tratando de
evidenciar por qué debe considerarse a ésta como elemento operativo y central. En segundo lugar,
ensayando la anterior reflexión, se sondean los resultados de la participación en varios Planes generales de
ordenación urbana. Por último, a partir del análisis anterior, se extraen una serie de conclusiones en
relación con los beneficios ambientales identificados como consecuencia de la incidencia de la participación
detectada, con sus limitaciones y oportunidades.

The growing interest in incorporating citizen participation in urban planning together with its potential utility as
an opportunity to face the increasing spacial
complexity and new territorial challenges have led us to study and identify what are the environmental benefits that result from the instrumentalization of citizen
participation in urban planning processes. First, we justify the strong relationship between urban planning processes and citizen participation.
In addition to this, we find out the reason why citizen participation has to be considered as an operating element and core. Secondly, after trying out the previous ideas, we analyse the results of citizen participation in several Masterplans. Finally, after all the analysis mentioned above, we draw a set of conclusions regarding the environmental benefits
identified, their limitations and opportunities.
Del no-lugar al lugar en espacios barriales de Santiago de Chile: investigación-acción enfocada en la didáctica de la proyectación arquitectónica
Authors: Gallardo Frías Laura
Published: July 2022

Se describe una parte de la investigación-acción realizada durante 2012-2013, partiendo del estudio de
diferentes conceptos sobre Lugar y No-Lugar, pertenecientes a distintos autores procedentes de: la filosofía, la
antropología, la sociología, las bellas artes y la arquitectura, a fin de llegar a la definición de estos términos
utilizándolos como punto de partida de reflexión en el proceso proyectual. Se comienza por el estudio de los No-
Lugares en nuestros días, de su aumento desenfrenado, revisando su concepción teórica e identificándolos y
contrastando la vivencia del ser humano en los mismos dentro la ciudad de Santiago de Chile. Y partir de la
toma de conciencia de este aumento de los No-Lugares, se potencia el desarrollo de propuestas arquitectónicas
que revaloricen la NECESIDAD DE LUGAR, considerándose como principal Lugar al ser humano,
estudiándose, a parte de sus proporciones y relaciones físicas-espaciales con el lugar y el contexto, los vínculos
sociales y antropológicos.

It describes an action-research conducted during 2012-2013, from the study of different concepts of place and
non-place, belonging to different authors from: philosophy, anthropology, sociology, fine arts and architecture,
affine arrive at the definition of these terms by using them as a starting point for reflection on the project process.
It begins with the study of non-places nowadays, rampant increase of reviewing its theoretical conception and identifying and contrasting the experience of human
beings in the same within the city of Santiago. And from awareness of this increase in non-places, enhances the development of architectural proposals to revalue the need for PLACE, regarded as the Main place human being, studying, apart from its proportions and physical-spatial relationships with place and context, anthropological and social ties.
Los centros históricos latinoamericanos: estrategias de intervención, renovación y gestión. Periodo: 1980-2010
Authors: González Biffis Alejandra
Published: July 2022

En el pasado, los centros históricos constituyeron toda la dimensión de las ciudades. Eran los lugares donde
se desarrollaban las actividades políticas, económicas, sociales, religiosas y culturales de la sociedad, y en
donde residía la mayor cantidad de la población. Contienen gran parte de la historia, además de ser testigos
de los cambios y de las diversas crisis que se fueron produciendo. Dichas crisis han dejado huellas que se
han visto reflejadas en su progresivo abandono. El deterioro de estas áreas, ha planteado la necesidad de
iniciar procesos de intervención que han incorporado nuevas formas de gestión, con el propósito de
adaptarlas a las nuevas demandas económicas, culturales y sociales. El artículo abordará el concepto de
centro histórico, los mecanismos y resultados identificados en intervenciones latinoamericanas, y los casos
de Quito y La Habana. Finalmente, se esbozarán recomendaciones enfocadas en la gestión de estos
sectores clave de las ciudades.

In the past, historical urban cores constituted the whole dimension of the cities. They were the place where
political, economic, social, religious and cultural activities took place; they were also the place of residence
for the major amount of the population. They contain great part of the history besides being witnesses of the
changes and of the diverse crisis who were taking place. The crisis just mentioned have left his treads, which
eventually were reflected in his progressive abandon. The deterioration of these areas has raised the need
to initiate process´ of intervention that have been incorporating new forms of management, with the intention
to adapt them to the new economic, cultural and social demands. The article will approach the concept of
historic urban core, the mechanisms and outcomes identified in Latin American interventions, and the cases
of Quito and La Habana. Finally, outlining recommendations focused on the management of these key
areas of the cities.
¿Patrimonio o ciudad?: limitaciones de los instrumentos de intervención urbanística en los Conjuntos Históricos
Authors: Pérez Eguíluz Víctor
Published: July 2022

La conservación de los conjuntos históricos se encomienda en las últimas décadas a los instrumentos de intervención urbanística. Una vez transcurrido el tiempo de la primera generación de planes y programas destinados a la protección y a la recuperación de estos ámbitos, es tiempo de evaluar los resultados obtenidos. La investigación que desarrollo pretende analizar no solo el estado de los valores arquitectónicos, sino también las características sociales y funcionales tradicionales que son parte del patrimonio que se quiere conservar. Una representación de los 140 conjuntos Históricos de la comunidad de Castilla y León están siendo analizados: la aplicación de Planes Generales, Planes Especiales y Áreas de Rehabilitación Integral serán confrontados con sus resultados en un trabajo que pretende sentar las bases para mejorar los efectos obtenidos por las siguientes generaciones de instrumentos.

In the last years the conservation of historic areas has been mainly entrusted to planning instruments. We have a first generation of Special Plans and Urban Programs intended for protecting and recovering these areas, so it is time to evaluate the results. The research aims to analyse not only the state of art regarding the conservation of architectural values, but also the traditional social and functional characteristics that are part of the heritage that is supposed to be preserved. A representative part of the 140 historic areas of the community of Castilla y León will be analysed: Town Planning and Special Planning application, even Rehabilitation Areas will be confronted with their results. The work aims to serve and improve the basis for the next generation of urban intervention instruments.
Re-interpretando el corredor noroeste de Madrid 1956 – 2011: las piezas que componen el territorio del CoNOMad y sus lógicas
Authors: Ponce de León Lidia
Published: July 2022

Este trabajo se centra en entender las transformaciones urbanísticas en el Corredor Noroeste de Madrid (CoNOMad) en las últimas décadas, para buscar sus patrones y lógicas. El corredor es un espacio de crecimiento disperso vinculado tradicionalmente a los asentamientos de baja densidad de la Comunidad de Madrid, límite entre sierra y ciudad y vertebrado por la carretera Nacional VI.
Se analiza este espacio atendiendo a tres
factores: el paisaje, las infraestructuras y los asentamientos. Este método de análisis
permite encontrar diferentes piezas que se repiten a lo largo del corredor y lógicas de
implantación en el mismo. El artículo se estructura en tres partes: 1. CoNOMad, 2. Las Piezas del territorio y 3. La lógica de las piezas.

The expansion of the suburbs in Madrid has been a unique phenomenon in the past decades, spreading out in fragmented pi
eces across the landscape of Madrid. The purpose of this work is to study the traditional low-density suburbs of the Region of Madrid (Madrid North west Corridor
(CoNOMad). This corridor stands in the
limit between the city of Madrid and the mountains, being the border of the new city. This area is analyzed attending to three
elements: landscape, infrastructures and settlements. This analytical methodology
allows us to distinguish different pieces that compose this area and to disclaim a number of logics of how they repeat and place themselves in the corridor. The article is divided in three parts: 1. CoNOMad. 2. The pieces of the territory and 3. The pieces logics.
