Abstract

Many local governments have been promoting a series of urban transformations linked to the conversion of obsolete or disaffected areas from their original uses, and linked to the rehabilitation of specialized areas that require substantial improvements. These urban projects are proposed as new centralities or areas of new centrality. The character and quality of the public space is a key factor on its shaping. A situational analysis is carried out in three Urban Renewal Centers in Rosario, Argentina: the former Battalion 121 State, the Rosario University Center and the Raul Scalabrini Ortiz Housing Park. The provisions of urban regulations regarding public spaces are investigated in general and in the three cases, as well as a series of categories and indicators of habitability of this type of spaces are defined, from which the bases for a diagnosis are laid in each case.

Keywords: urban centrality, public space, urban projects, Latin America.

Topic: public space and urban project in the contemporary metropoly.
