La identidad urbana como categoría de anàlisis: una propuesta metodológica para la lectura del territorio a través de la consolidación Histórico-Espacial de sus atributos urbanos característicos

Abstract

Recognizing the city as a construction in time and space is key to make a comprehensive territorial reading, that combining different factors from the natural, social and historic urban dimensions will lead to identify the existing conditions in territory, those who mark the starting point for future opportunities. Territorial comprehension from an identity point of view is proposed from a framework of analysis criteria, by which the peculiarities that identify each settlement are recognized, shaping their urban identity attributes. The following paper describes the methodological proposal, that is set up as a fixed system applicable in different scales and contexts.
