Abstract

In this article the research group Reactor Historic Centre Urban Laboratory (FADU- UDELAR), analyzes the planning process taken ahead in the last two years with the Urban Development Department of Montevideo’s city hall, around the renewal of empty buildings. The process demonstrated the sustainability of interventions based on associated management of the renewal processes with civil society groups and local government. The projects were organized around four main issues; Transformative Economies; Arts, culture and care; Ecology and Collaborative Housing. The results reached until now show how appropriate could be a pilot public programme as a way of renewing the urban strategies of intervention in central areas, as well as participatory models in urban management and the growing urban commons role into Right to the city challenges.

Keywords: common goods, collaborative urban planning, co-design, right to the city
