The use of smartphones in public spaces in the Smart Cities Era
Authors: Chaves-Custodio Bianca , Garcia-Almirall M. Pilar
Published: July 2022

Nowadays the possibility of being ubiquitous connected generates new patterns in the relation between people and the built environment. In a time when cities around the globe claim to be smart, it is crucial to be conscious and highlight the value of its inhabitant’s collective wisdom. Technology can improve efficiency in many aspects but cities cannot be understood without its people. We are reorganizing our lives around mass mobile communications. Given that the research scope needs to be updated. Some studies on the use of mobiles in urban spaces have been done, however they have rarely been used to describe this phenomena at a street level, understanding how users interact with public spaces (or not), while online. The research sought to investigate how the widespread use of smartphones frames people’s behavior and interaction with public spaces and create new forms of urban dynamics in the Smart Cities era. In this context, we compared the different social groups (tourists, temporary and permanent residents) that inhabit the city. Taking El Born area in the city of Barcelona as case study we have analyzed the use of public spaces and how mobile technology affects the way people relate to the city while online.
Adopting traditional methods of field observation and combining them with surveys we have extended and improved existing methodologies, generating a singular comprehensive dataset, consisting of more than 5000 observations. The analysis of all collected data provided insightful outcomes both at street level and from the users’ point of view. The results evince that behavioral patterns on the use of technology in public spaces are tightly linked to the social group each person belongs to and to the relation each one has to a place.
Although online information about places is getting progressively more accurate, there is still a valuable intangible layer of knowledge held by locals that can not be replaced by any map, recommendation system or app. Despite the infinite possibilities of being online, mediated perception do not replace the intangible value of face-to-face relations.
Digital services for an internet of places: urban digital nodes for a smart region between Milan and Turin
Authors: Di Vita Stefano , Morandi Corinna , Rolando Andrea
Published: July 2022

This paper presents the outcomes of a three-year research project developed by the Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Architettura e Studi Urbani (DAStU), in collaboration with Telecom Italia. Looking at territorial smartness from a spatial perspective, that leaves aside the purely technological aspects, the research aims at exploring different ICT potentialities: from new uses of space, to socio-economic and physical regeneration. With this goal, it reflects about the possible updating of concepts, which are widely used in urban planning:
(i) from smart city to smart region, to deal with the regional scale of contemporary cities, thus including peripheral and marginal ‘in-between’ spaces;
(ii) from urban nodes to urban digital nodes, to design multi-scalar smart spaces able to integrate traditional and digital services;
(iii) from Internet of Things to Internet of Places, to make spaces able to interact through (at the same time) real and virtual experiences of users.
These theoretical references are explored within the scenario of the metropolitan region between Milan and Turin. According to these issues, this paper presents the research process to the UDN localization along the infrastructural bundle between Milan and Turin: from the identification of urban/infrastructural nodes, to the selection of potential Urban Digital Nodes. Furthermore, it highlights the UDN contribution to a smart region development through the spatial implementation of an Internet of Places.
Mapping land cover changes of pilgrimage sites in Mecca using multi-temporal satellite imagery
Authors: Imam Ayman , Roca Cladera Josep
Published: July 2022

The Pilgrimage sites (Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah) located in the southeast part of the holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, or “Hajj Sites” as it is known, are one of the most important annual assembly areas for Muslims from all over the world and being visited by millions of pilgrims every year to perform the Islamic pilgrimage (Hajj). The sites have undergone significant change in land cover since the government embarked on a course of intense development projects 20 years ago, as a result of the increase in the number of pilgrims every year. Considering lack of studies that measure and evaluate land cover changes of the sites, this study detects, analyzes and evaluates land cover changes in Hajj sites from 1997 to 2013 using Landsat images of four different time periods, i.e., Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) of 1998, and Lamdsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus(ETM+) of 2003, 2008 and 2013. The supervised classification methodology has been employed through testing its different techniques to obtain the best possible result; the images of the study area were categorized into five different classes’ namely Built-up areas, Street, Mountain, un built-up and Vegetation. The comparison (pixel by pixel) was used to land cover changes detection. Generally, the results show a noticeable increase in area on both built-up and street due to the rapid development in the areas with decrease in vegetation and un built-up. The provided information, combined with the field observation work is essential for assist future planning and decisions in one hand, and on the other hand can play an important role in quantifying and understanding the relationship between population growth (pilgrims) and land cover changes.
Reading the social preferences of tourist destinations through social media data
Authors: Serrano-Estrada Leticia , Martí Pablo , Nolasco-Cirugeda Almudena
Published: July 2022

The social preferences of individuals have been traditionally identified through traditional means using field techniques such as direct interviewing, observation and people-counting. The virtual layer of the social system currently allows new ways to identify the most preferred urban areas or venues. With that in mind, this paper aims to study how data from two Location-Based Social Networks: Foursquare and Twitter can shed light on empirical and theoretical observations about the spatial patterns characterizing where people tend to be and socialise in a tourist city.
The methodology proposed consists of three stages. First, a self-developed desktop application retrieves geospatial data from the selected social networks. Then, the dataset obtained is organised and sorted. Finally, the georeferenced data is visualised and analysed and the trends are noted and discussed. To that end, the city of Benidorm was selected as a case study and the data was collected during the off-peak tourist season. The results demonstrate a correlation between the empirical assumptions and the findings from the social networks analysis about people’s preferred places. Foursquare provides a ranking of urban spaces and venues related to tourism, and the location of the tweets confirms the seasonal nature of Benidorm. Despite the fact that information from location-based social media has to be treated carefully, since each service has its own unique purpose, the method proposed has proven to be effective and reliable to depict a representative sample of people’s social patterns and preferences in tourist cities.
Heritage buildings and digital storage: which conceivable match?
Authors: Pascal Simoens , Becue Vincent
Published: July 2022

The purpose of the article is to define the relationship between property issues and new urban experiences it creates. The article is divided by chapter 3. The first presents the background and urban issues that led to the questioning and, more specifically, the issue of keeping a portfolio of real or virtual way under pressure from the major urban issues. The second part defines the concept of heritage and its representation in a virtual world. We rely heavily on Unesco's work on the preservation of digital data as well as the collective work of Petauque (FR) on the question of meaning to the stored information. Finally, we present the risks of the theory made facing the ground in describing the example of Godin Familistère project that underlies all of our research. It is clear that the article is based on actual experience and is therefore a posteriori looking for experienced face the reality of the Brussels urban governance.
APP R-ALERGO: allergy-healthy routes in Valencia
Authors: Temes Cordovez Rafael R , Hernández Fernández de Rojas Dolores , Moya Fuero Alfonso , Martí Garrido Jaume
Published: July 2022

On the urban areas there are sources of information about the exposition to environmental allergens and others potential factors of allergies, such as: weather conditions, vegetation, urban morphology, etc. For the last two years we have been developing, together with the “La Fe” Hospital of Valencia, the Cartography Institute of Valencia (Instituto Cartografico Valenciano), and the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), a mobile phone App to help citizens to avoid high environmental allergens exposure areas while they are walking around the city. The App uses modified grid calculations where impedances have been calculated based on the variables that affect allergens exposure: temperature, humidity and wind direction, pollution level, trees, pollination, season period, pet areas, fountains and water surfaces. People’s allergy information and the factors that have effects on the allergens exposure were agreed by a group of specialized doctors. The design follows the recommendations of the Agency of Health Quality of Andalucia (Agencia de Calidad Sanitaria de Andalucia). R-ALERGO is the first App to avoid the exposure to air allergens in Spain. The App works following 4 steps: 1st Patient profile; 2nd Definition of the origin-destination of the route; 3rd Calculation of the route with the lower exposure to allergens; 4th Specific recommendations for users. The App R-ALERGO is developed following the concept of other applications dedicated to improve life quality of citizens and recovering, by using the idea of Smart Cities, the link between medicine and health, with the purpose of achieving more responsible cities towards their citizens.
Application for a barrier free tourism in Valencia
Authors: Temes Cordovez Rafael R , Moya Fuero Alfonso
Published: July 2022

Barrier free tourism is increasingly getting a greater attention by the tourist industry, not just for the added value given to the touristic experience, but because of the difference and specialization on a wide market share that the Spanish touristic sector has not been able to fully take advantage of yet. Following this idea, the National Plan for Smart cities (Plan Nacional de Ciudades Inteligentes) stands up for smart touristic destinations where innovative technologies should play an important role to improve accessibility. The development of the mobile phone App “Barrier Free-Valencia” intents to offer a useful tool to walk through the city of Valencia guaranteeing a 100% barrier free route. The methodology used for the development is based on the combination of a systematic field work, using free access information provided by the Municipality of Valencia, and calculations based on the Dijkstra algorithm (1959) implemented on a GIS software. To calculate the route, it is used the impedance or crossing difficulty concept where the different urban barriers and low comfort situation areas are identified. The main data used are: presence of lower sidewalks, path narrowing, slopes, steps and noisy pavement. After this data has been identified, the routes are divided into accessible, passable, and not accessible. It is necessary to work on the idea of creating representative single line grids of sidewalks and, therefore, of real paths followed by urban citizens. By doing so, more data can be collected to build a complete Smart City grid. The development of Apps such as Barrier Free will help on the evolution towards more inclusive cities. An idea that is the basic line of our investigation.
Sustainability criteria associated with urbanization regulations
Authors: Avila David Carlos
Published: July 2022

The recent formalization in the country a National Urban Policy and Housing attempts urgent attention to the problems associated with a sector whose development in recent decades has been marked by continued dissociation between urban growth and population growth way, based on models disproportionate, irrational and unsustainable territorial expansion, with high costs in economic, social and environmental issues.
Urban segregation, deteriorating environmental conditions of the physical built environment, vulnerability to natural disasters, depletion of land reserves in several metropolitan areas and social exclusion and inequality in terms of the supply of infrastructure, services or equipment are some of the most serious consequences of the effective realization of such models in Mexican cities, especially for areas with little population confined to living on the peripheries of urban sprawl income.
Combining this with the guidance of environmental policies at the international level to the reduction of greenhouse gases in all sectors of society and with the explicit intention of the municipality of Zapopan to promote sustainability criteria associated with urbanization within of its territory, it is that the framework that motivates the development of this standard Sustainable Construction is set.
The rule here is issued aims to establish linked, in this case, the regulation of planning urban renewal actions and / or promoting new municipality under the requirements of sustainability criteria and indicators for the implementation of urban planning instruments ; all embedded in a management framework and an evaluation process according the urban regulations.
The implementation of the territorial development concept in the reality of virtual world: the case of Puerto Rico
Authors: Estrada Meléndez Omar H , Olivarez González Adriana I
Published: July 2022

In the new virtual world, it becomes necessary to consider new concepts of development that allow to achieve social justice and equity. It is for this reason, in this article present a synthetic review of the development theories evolution, the definition of the concept of territorial development and the implication of this concept in the case of Puerto Rico. The findings presented in this article are part of a larger investigation that was developed in the Doctorate Program of City, Territory and Sustainability at the University of Guadalajara, Mexico. The main objective of this research was to determine how the processes of territorial development were affected by the presence of dependent territory geopolitical condition.
However, this academic research is only the basis for extending a discussion about a concept that requires further analysis for adjust to other realities in the world and to incorporate the lessons and experiences of other individuals. It necessary understands that territorial development concept is relatively young and has only two decades since its first formulations, so it requires a process of operationalize the definition components. Such work would allow the territorial development concept can be considered in the preparation of different territorial studies and analysis.
The ex Haciendas San Nicolas de Esquiros and Santa Maria del Refugio: their patrimonial in a neoliberal context
Authors: Ojeda Sampson Alejandra
Published: July 2022

San Nicolas de Esquiros and Santa Maria del Refugio Haciendas emerge from colonial times in Mexico, instituting their communities based on this and the figure of peasant subsumed to that of the authority. Based on its morpho-spatial characteristics and its festivities, communities form what is meaningful for them: their heritage and their identity. Due to the neoliberal economic system they live in social exclusion and economic poverty, having to sell or divide their patrimonial to slightly solve this situation. This has led to the disarticulation of these heritage spaces, thus affecting their being a community. A growth of its hull destruction can be observed as well as pollution of its springs and the transformation of their celebrations. Economic problems are leading them to live in ways that oppose their constitution of identity and because of this condition of submission and poverty, governance still seems far from being handled.
It will be shown how the current economic system has a negative impact on the patrimonial of its populations, thereby harming the social, spatial and identity tissue. The impossibility to state governance for the preservation of its governance will also be displayed.
The method used was the critical dialectics, performing ethnographic work (semi-structured interviews and participant observation), in site readings and works analysis. All of it taken to a database from the two approaches: first the one for discovery and afterwards that of explanation.
Coastal landscape management in mexican tourist regions: Punta de Mita case in Bahía de Banderas, Nayarit
Authors: Olivares González Adriana I , Córdova Martínez Tania
Published: July 2022

This article analyzes the process of coastal landscape management in the Mexican tourist region from the transformation of the landscape of Punta de Mita. This peninsula is part of the interstate metropolitan zone of Puerto Vallarta - Bahía de Banderas, located between the State of Jalisco and State of Nayarit. It is one of three coastal metropolitan zones of Mexico.
This research has a qualitative approach and adopts the concept of the landscape defined by the European Landscape Convention as “any part of the territory, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors” (Council of Europe, 2000).
The units of analysis were the peninsular zone of Punta de Mita and the actors who participated in their transformation. The information was collected through semi-structured interviews with key informants selected using the snowball technique, qualitative observation, review of official documentary sources (plans, projects, reports) as well as historiographical and aerial photographs.
The identification of the participation of each type of actor is highlighted in the transformation of the landscape: the State provides the land and enables for tourism investment; economic actors take ownership and monetize their aesthetic values; social actors are deprived of the use and enjoyment of the landscape. The symbols printed on the territory are mainly touristic and, in the second instance, natural whose conservation represents a point of agreement between the state and the residents.
Immigration social challenges in public spaces in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Authors: Summan Maher Mahfoz
Published: July 2022

After the economic rise in Saudi Arabia in 1938, workers migrated from across Saudi Arabia seeking better work opportunities. Statistics from the General Census of Population and Housing in 2010 reveal that the total number of international immigrants increased from 0.7 to 1.73 million between 2002 and 2010 (from 29.4% to 50% of the Population), coming from different countries, cultural, social and religious backgrounds.
Over recent years, a perception has developed by some citizens that there are too many Immigrants, which has exposed increased feelings of insecurity. Anti-immigrant attitudes and social exclusion have become more prominent, Saudi nationals have become concerned about diminishing national identity, in addition to believe that expatriates take available work and economic opportunities away from nationals, main cause of crime, and moral corruption.
Immigrants have brought with them new ideas, skills and practices from their home cultures, which add to the new urban cultures in Jeddah. This has helped to create a culturally vibrant urban environment.
The study will discuss the challenges faced by immigrants in Jeddah, in terms of interaction and social harmony with Saudi citizens in public spaces, and the underlying causes of those challenges. Qualitative method is used in this study, through discuss and analyse general literature review about the objective of the research (Public space and Immigration social challenges in Jeddah), then propose general recommendations that contribute to the improvement of the immigrants social life in the public space.
El silencio del espacio urbano: Valparaíso: las formas de la trama urbana
Authors: Valdivia Valenzuela Paulina
Published: July 2022

Valparaíso es una ciudad-puerto que ha crecido principalmente mediante acciones particulares superpuestas, en un territorio cuyo relieve guía a asentarse manteniendo su criterio formal. Ciudad de diálogo vertical, que a medida crece, se apropia de los cerros altos. Allá, en la altura, proliferan silenciosamente las casas siguiendo un lenguaje entre vecinos en armonía con la pendiente del territorio, crecimiento silencioso que retumba cuando se vuelve denso en busca de pertenecer a la trama urbana.Esta investigación de carácter morfológico busca comprender mediante la lectura y redibujo de planos, cómo los habitantes han logrado habitar la pendiente y cuáles son los criterios que arman la trama urbana y su periferia efímera, repensar los límites de la ciudad y cómo se consolidan aquellos cerros que construidos precariamente dejan huellas que desvelan formas de construir los barrios.La lectura del territorio permite comprender que el crecimiento autogestionado en los cerros altos se da siempre desde un arriba, desde el eje de cima, es desde aquí que el asentamiento se despliega hacia los fondos de quebrada de la manera más leve y flexible posible debido a la condición del relieve.

Valparaíso is a port city that has grown mainly by superimposed private actions in a territory whose topography guides to settle maintaining its formal criteria. A City of vertical dialogue, that as it grows, appropriates the high hills. There, in the height, the houses proliferate silently following a language between neighborhouds in harmony with the slope of the territory, silent growth that echoes when it becomes dense in the search of belonging to the urban fabric. This research of morphological character seeks to understand through reading and redrawing maps, how the inhabitants have managed to inhabit the slope and what are the criteria that put together the urban plot and its ephemeral periphery, we want to rethink the limits of the city and how those hills are consolidated, even thought the houses are built precariously they leave the traces that reveal ways to build neighborhoods.!e reading of the territory allows us to understand that the self-managed growth in the high hills always occurs from the top, from the axis of the top, it is from here that the settlement is deployed towards the bottoms of the gulch in the slightest and most flexible way possible due to the condition of the relief.
Forma urbana e segregação: uma análise morfológica dos assentamentos informais do entorno de conjuntos habitacionais em Ananindeua/Pará
Authors: Morais Raquel Oliveira de , Silva Bruna Lopes Brazão e , Lima José Júlio Ferreira
Published: July 2022

Este trabalho se propõe a contribuir com uma análise morfológica dos assentamentos informais situados no entorno dos conjuntos habitacionais Cidade Nova, Guajará e PAAR, localizados no município de Ananindeua, Região Metropolitana de Belém, Estado do Pará. Foram escolhidos quatro assentamentos informais em virtude de suas respectivas localizações, relações de proximidade com os conjuntos habitacionais supracitados, forma espacial, suas conexões e limitações do sítio físico. Neles foram identificadas proporções de dimensões de quadras e lotes, massa edificada, e a relação entre o traçado da malha urbana dos assentamentos informais com as dos conjuntos habitacionais, visando identificar as transformações ocorridas e o nível integração/segregação dos recortes destacados. É demonstrado que a forma urbana dos assentamentos informais periféricos revela um processo de consolidação com padrões espaciais determinados em grande medida pela espacialidade dos conjuntos habitacionais.

This work aims to contribute to a morphological analysis of informal settlements located around the Cidade Nova, Guajará and PAAR housing complexes, located in the municipality of Ananindeua, Metropolitan Region of Belém, state of Pará. Four informal settlements were chosen because of their respective locations, proximity relations with the above-mentioned housing estates, spatial shapes, their connections and limitations of the physical site. The assessment of proportions of blocks and lots, built mass, and the relationship between the layout of the urban network of informal settlements with the complexes housing are conducted, in order to identify the changes that have taken place and the level of integration/segregation of the highlighted areas. It is demonstrated that the urban form of peripheral informal settlements reveals a process of consolidation with spatial patterns partially determined by the spatiality of the housing estates.
Las viviendas productivas en la Villa 20 de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires: estrategias laborales y habitacionales de la migración boliviana
Authors: Díaz Mariela Paula
Published: July 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las prácticas laborales llevadas a cabo por los hogares de migrantes (de Bolivia) en la Villa 20 (CABA, Argentina) y su relación con la configuración territorial segregada y fragmentada (el hábitat) en la actualidad. En especial, se hará hincapié en la temática de las viviendas productivas. En general, se hallaron vastos estudios sobre la problemática de la vivienda y del mercado laboral de la población migrante, pero escasean aquellos que se centren en la temática propuesta. Por este motivo, consideramos que este trabajo puede aportar de manera incipiente a una problemática en construcción. En síntesis se concluye que la vivienda productiva expresa un tipo específico de acceso a la ciudad y una inserción de los hogares de migrantes en el mercado laboral, segmentado étnicamente y según género, que recluye a las mujeres migrantes quechuas en el barrio. Además, esta situación problematiza la dicotomía de la modernidad público-privada.Para llevar a cabo esta propuesta se adoptó una estrategia metodológica multimétodo, que combina procedimientos cualitativos y cuantitativos.

The objective of this work is to analyze the labor practices carried out by migrant households (from Bolivia) in Villa 20 (CABA, Argentina) and their relationship with the segregated and fragmented territorial configuration (habitat) at present. In particular, the theme of productive housing will be emphasized. In general, vast studies were found on the problem of housing and the labor market of the migrant population, but those that focus on the proposed are scarce. For this reason, we believe that this work can contribute incipiently to a problem under construction. In summary, it is concluded that productive housing expresses a specific type of access to the city and a insertion of migrant households in the labor market, ethnically and gender-segmented, which recruits Quechua migrant women in the neighborhood. Furthermore, this situation problematizes the dichotomy of public-private modernity. To carry out this proposal, a multi-method methodological strategy was adopted, which combines qualitative and quantitative procedures
Transit system as a project of urbanity
Authors: Stipcic Milos
Published: July 2022

Up to which point a transit system, a primarily utilitarian element of the

city, could become a positive constituent of urban context, giving it a new

significance and an additional value? In the last few decades, there is a relatively

new and increasing phenomenon in urbanism which is to put more

effort into the integration of transit system and its surrounding. In different

regions of the world, multidisciplinary teams of planners are working on

many-sided urban projects along the transit routes in order to establish a

stronger dialog between mobility and the built environment, regardless the

transport mode, size of city or urban context. The objective of this discussion

is to give a general overview of this phenomenon and to evaluate some common

ideas or outcomes.

Hasta qué punto el sistema de tránsito, un elemento principalmente utilitario

de la ciudad, podría convertirse en un constituyente afirmativo del

contexto urbano, dándole un nuevo significado y un valor adicional? En las

últimas décadas, existe un fenómeno relativamente nuevo y creciente en urbanismo,

de poner más esfuerzo en la integración del sistema de tránsito en

su entorno. En las diferentes regiones del mundo los equipos multidisciplinarios

de planificadores trabajan en los proyectos urbanos multifacéticos a

lo largo de las rutas de tránsito para establecer un diálogo más intensivo

entre la movilidad y el entorno construido, independientemente del modo

de transporte, tamaño de la ciudad o contexto urbano. El objetivo de esta

breve discusión es dar una visión general de este fenómeno y evaluar algunas

ideas o resultados comunes.
Retos de la movilidad: eficiencia y calidad
Authors: Peremiquel Lluch Francisco
Published: July 2022

A pesar de su continua reflexión, la movilidad urbana continúa siendo un tema

no resuelto que plantea retos de naturaleza diversa, de los cuales, dos parecen

especialmente relevantes: la eficiencia, que se basa en garantizar el acceso y la

fluidez del tránsito y la calidad, que supone la integración o segregación correcta

de los diversos sistemas.

Frente a un modelo que tiende a los espacios compartidos, segregados y a menudo

incompatibles entre sí, que relegan el espacio para el peatón al último lugar,

recuperar para ellos un espacio propio es el reto más importante. Una red peatonal

exclusiva no solo puede mejorar la calidad urbana, sino introducir una nueva

lógica de pensamiento a los modelos de movimiento en las ciudades.

Despite its continuing consideration, urban mobility remains as an unresolved

issue that provoke challenges of diverse nature; two of them seem particularly

relevant: the efficiency based on ensuring access and the traffic flow and quality,

these two aspects suggest either the correct integration or the isolation of the

various systems.

In a spatial model, one that leans to contain shared, fragmented, and frequently

unsuited spaces, where the place for the pedestrian is relegated, recovering a dedicated

space for pedestrians is the most important challenge. An exclusive pedestrian

network can not only improve urban quality, but also introduce a new logic

of thinking to the models of movement in cities.
Movilidad y derecho a la ciudad: las desigualdades generadas por el modo principal de movilidad en la ciudad de São Paulo
Authors: Martins Ferreira da Silva Renata
Published: July 2022

A lo largo del siglo XX la ciudad de São Paulo ha sido estructurada para garantizar

la movilidad absoluta del automóvil mientras que los demás modos de transporte

han sido desatendidos. De entre todos, el modo peatonal es el que ha sufrido

mayores impactos, al quedarse al margen de la planificación.

Este artículo describe como se ha desarrollado el modelo de movilidad protagonizado

por el automóvil, analiza sus impactos en los modos de transporte existentes

en la ciudad y pone de relieve las condiciones y condicionantes bajo las cuales se

desarrolla el desplazamiento peatonal en la escala del barrio.

Throughout the 20th century Sao Paulo was structured to guarantee automotive

mobility while other modes of transportation were neglected. Among those

modes, pedestrians have suffered the most, for remaining on the margin of planning.

This article describes how the mobility model has been developed mainly for the

automobile, analyses its impacts on the existing modes of transportation, and

highlights the conditions and causes under which pedestrian circulation takes

place in the city.
Transformaciones, persistencias y resistencias del territorio: la ribera del Municipio de Vicente López
Authors: Colella Viviana
Published: July 2022

Los estudios sobre transformaciones metropolitanas recientes focalizan en las intervenciones en centros
metropolitanos, periurbano y los ejes que los articulan. Las áreas centrales fueron escenario de operaciones
públicas y desarrollos inmobiliarios en sus zonas históricas, portuarias y costeras. En el periurbano se
localizaron enclaves cerrados destinados a sectores de alto poder adquisitivo. Estas áreas centrales y
periféricas se articulan por redes de autopistas concesionadas y por corredores consolidados
tradicionalmente, que cobran gran dinamismo con la localización de hipermercados, shoppings centers,
complejos de cine, y edificios de oficinas. Sin embargo, estos estudios soslayan las amplias zonas
intermedias, entre el centro y el periurbano, que cobran particular interés, tanto para la inversión pública
como privada, a partir de la última década. En este trabajo se considera que los proyectos y las
transformaciones de estas áreas, así como los conflictos que se dirimen en torno a ellos, pueden
presentarse como un laboratorio para pensar las transformaciones recientes, y sus posibles lógicas de
intervención.

The studies about the recent metropolitan transformations focus on interventions in metropolitan centers, suburban and the axles that articulate them. The central areas were the scene of public operations and
real estate development in historic areas, ports and coastal. In the periphery were settled gated communities for affluent sectors. These central and peripheral areas are linked by networks of private highway and traditional corridors, who gained dynamism with the location of
supermarkets, shopping malls, cinema complexes, and office buildings. This paper focus on the large are as between downtown and suburbs, which are of particular
interest to both public and private investment, from the last decade. It considers the projects and transformations of these areas, and the conflicts that are settled around them, may be presented as a
laboratory for thinking about the recent changes, and possible intervention logic.
Dinámicas de gentrificación en metrópolis de la cultura: aproximación comparada a las estrategias de Madrid y Buenos Aires
Authors: García Pérez Eva , Sequera Fernández Jorge
Published: July 2022

Este trabajo explora los cambios que acontecen actualmente en las dinámicas de regeneración urbana de las grandes metrópolis contemporáneas que apuestan por modelos de economía urbana incorporados a la globalización. El peso de la producción cultural y de las industria creativas se acompaña de nuevos personajes y estilos de vida directamente vinculados a la “nueva economía”, innovadora y social, cuyos movimientos representan hoy la piedra de toque de las dinámicas urbanas que afectan a las áreas centrales. Proponemos analizar estas dinámicas a partir de los casos de Madrid y Buenos Aires en función de tres factores detectados: la rehabilitación del patrimonio urbano, las políticas de lugar de la economía del conocimiento, y la transformación comercial de los mercados tradicionales y el comercio de proximidad. Sostenemos que estos tres vectores refuerzan los procesos de renovación urbana desplazando la frontera de la gentrificación a nuevos marcos de actuación y límites territoriales.

This paper explores the changes taking place today in urban regeneration dynamics of the big metropolis that are committed to contemporary urban economic models incorporated in globalization. The weight of the cultural and creative industry comes together with new characters and lifestyles directly linked to the innovative and social "new economy", whose movements today represent the touchstone of urban dynamics
affecting central areas. We propose to analyze these dynamics from the cases of Madrid and Buenos Aires, in terms of three identified factors: the policies for rehabilitation of urban heritage, the policies for placing knowledge economy, and commercial transformation of traditional markets and local shops. We argue that
these three vectors reinforce urban renewal processes moving the border of gentrification towards new frameworks and territorial frontiers.
El papel del usuario en el diseño urbano: el Parc central de Poblenou
Authors: Heras Lasanta María
Published: July 2022

Este trabajo nace de una preocupación por la interacción entre usuario y arquitectura y las
formas y métodos que nos pueden ayudar a analizarla, comprenderla y sacar conclusiones
útiles para proyectos futuros. Para ello, tras estudiar los pocos precedentes existentes en el
mundo de la arquitectura, se define una metodología de análisis post ocupacional, centrándose
principalmente en la relación entre el diseño y el uso.
El parque del Centre de Poblenou sirve como caso de estudio ejemplar por concurrir en él una
serie de factores que lo convierten en paradigmático del conflicto entre arquitecto y usuario.
De la aplicación del método a este proyecto se obtienen, por una parte, las conclusiones
particulares referidas al conflicto del parque y, por otra, las conclusiones relativas a los aciertos
y errores de la metodología en todas sus fases (definición del análisis, toma de datos y su
registro, trabajo de campo, comparación de datos y la elaboración de conclusiones).

The interaction between users and architecture, and the ways and methods we can use in order to analyse and understand it, are the principal concerns that
motivate this investigation. With
this aim, a methodology of post occupational studies is developed, based on the few previous examples and experiences existent in the architectural field. This method focuses mostly in analysing the controversial relation between design and
use.
The park of the Centre of Poblenou is a paradigmatic example of the conflict architect - user due to the complexity of the factors that converges in. That is the reason why it is chosen to be studied in this research. By applying the developed analyses method to the park of the Centre of Poblenou we obtain two kinds of conclusions: ones related to the case study and others
related to the achievements and errors shown by the methodology.

O texto foi escrito a partir da investigação dedicada a mapear a “para-formalidade” no centro da cidade de
Salvador/Bahia/Brasil, através de cartografias urbanas, fazendo uso de recursos infográficos e sendo
divulgado em tempo real por meio de website. A oficina foi realizada no "Corpocidade 3", e dividiu-se em
errâncias e intervenções. A pesquisa se volta para os espaços não regulados, onde se produzem atividades
que tendem a subverter as leis da economia tradicional, do urbanismo e das relações humanas, gerando
mudanças importantes, tanto teóricas como práticas, na maneira de pensar e planejar a cidade. Para essa
pesquisa, o para-formal são todas as atividades (comerciais, culturais, moradia, etc.) encontradas no
espaço público da cidade, que não faz parte de seu desenho urbano (original), mas que “agora” – na
contemporaneidade – fazem parte de seu cotidiano. Até agora, os principais resultados obtidos giram em
torno do corpo, do espaço e do tempo no centro das cidades.

The text was written from research devoted to map the "para-formalidade" in the center of Salvador/Bahia/Brazil, through urban cartography, making use of infographics and being released in real time via the
website. The workshop was held in "Corpocidade 3", and divided into walkers and interventions. The research turns to the unregulated spaces where activities occur that tend to subvert the traditional laws of
economics, urban planning and human relations, generating important changes, both theoretical and practical, in thinking and planning the city. For this research, the "para-formal" are all activities (commercial,
cultural, housing, etc.) found in the public space of the city, which is not part of its urban design (original), but that "now" - nowadays - do part of their daily lives. Until now, the main results revolve around the body, space and time in the center of the cities.

Esta investigación se enmarca en el capítulo dedicado al problema de estudio y la metodología abordada en el
trabajo de Tesis Doctoral (ETSAB/FAUD-UNC), “El orden desconcertado. Tensión entre el soporte físico y
cuadrícula. Modelos de organización durante las transformaciones urbanas en la ciudad de Córdoba entre los
siglos XIX y XX”. Centramos el estudio en la interpretación de los procesos de transformación en la ciudad de
Córdoba. Ponemos el acento en la interrelación entre el orden de la cuadrícula como instrumento organizador
del proceso urbanizador, el soporte físico que la contiene y su resultante en los intersticios urbanos singulares
que conforman la estructura interna de la ciudad. En este segmento de la investigación el problema de estudio
es develar, desde la lectura de la forma urbana, los resultados de las diversas estrategias contradictorias
ensayadas en la ciudad de Córdoba, como son la expansión, la densificación y la centralización. Dichas
acciones desplegadas en el territorio urbano son generadoras de intersticios o vacíos urbanos singulares,
fragmentos desconectados y desprovistos de planificación específica.

This research is part of Chapter V of the Doctoral Thesis (ETSAB), on the theme: "The order baffled. Tension between hardware and grid. Organizational models for urban change in the city of Cordoba between the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries. "The study focused on the interpretation of the transformation processes in the city of Cordoba during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. We emphasize the interaction between the order of the grid as a tool organizer urbanizing process, the hardware that contains it and resulting in unique
urban interstices that comprise the internal structure of the city. The problem studied in this segment of the research is revealing since reading urban form, the results of the various contradictory strategies tested in the city of Córdoba, as the expansion, densification and centralization. Actions taken in the urban and generating empty urban spaces, disconnected fragments and devo
id of specific planning. In this segment of the research, the study problem is to uncover, from the reading of the urban form, the results of the various contradictory
strategies tested in the city of Córdoba, such as expansion, densification and centralization. Such actions
deployed in the urban are generating unique urban spaces or empty, devoid disconnected fragments and specific planning.
Un espacio público en tranformación y conflicto: la plaza Salvador Seguí y la Filmoteca de Cataluña en el Raval de Barcelona
Authors: Priore Lima Renata
Published: July 2022

Este artículo plantea una investigación acerca de la plaza Salvador Seguí, ubicada en el corazón del barrio del Raval, en el centro histórico de Barcelona, cuya forma y maneras de ocupación han cambiado mucho en los últimos diez años. Parte de un gran proyecto de intervención urbana conocido como Illa Robador, esta plaza fue uno de los pocos elementos que sobrevivió a las intensas trasformaciones que modificaron este tejido urbano milenario. Foco de polémica, este proyecto fue finalizado en 2012 con la inauguración de la Filmoteca de Cataluña. Sin embargo, los conflictos que caracterizan la plaza y el barrio hace siglos permanecen evidentes. Entender las características formales de la plaza Salvador Seguí, identificar los conflictos que la configuran y las principales permanencias y transformaciones en curso son nuestros objetivos centrales.

This article intends to investigate Salvador Seguí square, located in the heart of Raval, at Barcelona historic center.
As part of a big urban project known as Illa Robador, its forms and ways of occupation have really changed during the last ten years.
The Salvador Seguí square is one of the few elements that survived in this millenary urban fabric. Target of an important polemic
discussion, this project was ended in 2012 with the inauguration of Filmoteca de Cataluña. However, the conflicts that
have distinguished this square for years
(as the whole neighborhood) are still
evident today. Understanding its formal characteristics, and recognizing the conflicts, permanencies and transformation aspects at Salvador Seguí square are the main
goals of this article.
Arquitectura genérica: estratégia para humanizar o espaço público
Authors: Santos Rodrigues Mara
Published: July 2022

Estudamos a arquitectura genética como instrumento para a humanização do espaço público. Através de várias perspectivas de autores, como Karl Chu, Steadman, Zarzar, Jan Gehl, François Ascher, entre outros. Concluímos assim que para responder à problemática social e urbana que vivemos nas cidades actuais, a arquitectura genética poderia ser uma boa estratégia para do ponto de vista social, espacial, funcional, tecnológico e económico permitir uma boa adaptação e adequação do Ambiente Urbano ao Utilizador. Esta concepção genética tem como princípios a auto-replicação, mutação e auto-organização. Isto faz com que surjam novos materiais e novas técnicas.

We studied the genetic architecture as a tool to humanize public space. Through various perspectives of
authors such as Karl Chu Steadman, Zarzar, Jan Gehl, François Ascher, and others. We conclude that in
response to the problematic social and urban living in cities today, genetic architecture could be a good
strategy for the social, spatial, functional, technological and economic point of view allow proper adaptation
and adjustment of the urban environment to the user. This design has genetic principles as self-replication,
mutation and self-organization. This gives rise to new materials and new techniques.
Entre "viejas" y "nuevas" centralidades: un análisis del proceso de reestructuación urbana desde los años '90 el caso del partido de Lomas de Zamora
Authors: Romano Bárbara Teresa
Published: July 2022

Desde fines de la década de 1990 se estaría gestando una reestructuración del Área Metropolitana de
Buenos Aires (AMBA), que tendría como uno de sus principales resultados la configuración de una nueva
dinámica metropolitana a partir de la revitalización de los centros tradicionales y de la generación de
nuevas centralidades, vinculadas a renovados procesos de mercantilización del espacio. El objetivo de este
trabajo es presentar un análisis sobre las transformaciones urbanas en el partido de Lomas de Zamora,
tomando como casos testigos a la “Feria La Salada” y a “Las lomitas”. Estas transformaciones urbanas
¿Constituyen “nuevas” centralidades? Entonces ¿Cómo podemos definir a las centralidades? Y ¿Qué
relaciones pueden establecerse con los procesos de embellecimiento urbano?

Since the late 1990´s Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) has assisted a restructuring process in which one of its main results would be a new metropolitan dynamic derived from the revitalization from traditional centers and the generation of new ones, linked to renovated process of commercialization of space. The aim of this paper is to present an analysis of urban change in Lomas de Zamora, based on two witness cases: the "Feria La Salada" and "Las Lomitas". These urban transformations: Constitute "new" centralities?
If so, how can we define the inner cities? And what relationships can be established with urban “beautification” processes?
