Abstract

Urban renewal processes are essential for a better life in the city. Streets, squares and, ultimately, public spaces are where human interaction,, creativity, diversity and participation occur. Therefore, public spaces are where urban life unfolds, where contacts and connections are made and where the collaborative activities take place. The current urban model has pushed social interaction from public to private areas. This is mainly due to the presence of new elements which have gradually taken more and more space, such as cars, and also to the lack of equipment to empower public areas. Thus, La Revuelta Neighbourhood Association is promoting a participatory process to design our mobility and accessibility system. The main aim of this process is to jointly and democratically define and transform our neighbourhood regarding the use of our streets and public spaces. We believe that the role of public spaces should be recovered as a cornerstone in the revitalization of the city and its neigbourhoods, to encourage social interaction and to increase urban sociability and social cohesion.
