Urban Regeneration of public space “street”

Conceptual approaches under the Sustainability and "City-Making" perspective

Abstract

This paper represents a progress report of the Research Project "URBAN REGENERATION THROUGH PUBLIC OPEN SPACE. Rethinking the street as a key element in city-making" (SECYT-UNC), whose main objective is to provide theoretical and procedural contributions on the valorization of the street as an essential element of urbanity and its significant role in positive urban transformation, through an investigation into various types of streets in the metropolis of Córdoba (Argentina). The report is organized into two stages: on the one hand, the development of a theoretical-conceptual construction of the street from the notion of "city-making" and the paradigm of urban environmental sustainability, and on the other hand the systematization of case studies (existing interventions and non-built projects). The obtained results focus on key aspects for urban regeneration, with the identified attributes serving as foundational inputs for subsequent evaluative and exploratory stages of the Córdoba case studies.
