Territory of fragments and public space

The perception of ordinary actors

Abstract

According to spatial practices, representations of space and spaces of representation generate a spatial production from interconnected instances in a specific lapse of time (Lefebvre, 1968). Practices as forms of generation and appropriation of space by different actors; spatial representations from the particular logic of each agent; spaces of representation as perception and experience of the resulting spaces and their meanings. From this approach, the research “Urban transformations and public policies-The production of peripheral residential space: agents and practices”, aims to carry out studies on housing policies, growth processes in accordance with urban planning, instruments and their interference in the formation of the territory, and the intervening actors. Dynamics such as extension, segregation, fragmentation are recognized, and the effects of these urban-housing processes are visualized in the southern periphery of Córdoba, focusing on the impacts on public space and its perception.
