10 urban space regeneration initiatives that strive to improve community connection

La rigenerazione degli spazi urbani è spesso fondamentale per affrontare la coesione della comunità, l'inclusione sociale, lo squilibrio ecologico e la disparità economica. Uno spazio urbano rivitalizzato può contribuire ad aumentare la prosperità di un'area e, idealmente, dovrebbe andare a beneficio di tutti i membri della comunità. Il Programma delle Nazioni Unite per gli Insediamenti Umani (UN-Habitat) afferma che "la rigenerazione urbana recupera le risorse sottoutilizzate e ridistribuisce le opportunità, aumentando la prosperità urbana e la qualità della vita".

Montornès Nord Park - Urban Regeneration

The objective of the project has been the urban regeneration of an area of 8110m2 transforming what was an old abandoned sports facility into a new Urban Park. Pol Viladoms The challenges of the project have been diverse: 1- To make a Park that brings back the imaginary of plowed fields and orchards that existed in the area, promoting a very marked linearity in the elements, a cultivated nature and putting in the center the resource of plowing the soil as a tool of design and project. Pol Viladoms 2- To attain a dialogue between the Park and the biodiversity of the Turó de les Tres Creus, reserving 50% of the surface to be vegetated over time by the natural cycles with large carpets of plowed, fertile surface, stimulated...

taksim for all

an old square that has forgotten how to be one, traumatized long before with unintentional wrongdoings; an old park haunted by a ghost of a long-gone barrack, once its trees had the courage standing for their rights. are they going to help each other heal, holding intoa grid behaving as a regenerative terraphy?    Taksim district has had numerous interferences, through the years by the needs and desires of the community and space. every revision in recent years shivered the integrity of the physical space. especially the last move that took almost all the motorized circulation under the ground, although a positive development, erased all the borders, history, and memory of the space. the main problems of the space are the l...

Budaorsi Bus Terminal

The Budaörs bus terminal, winner of the BigSEE Architecture Award 2020 for Public and Commercial Architecture formed the focal point for an urban regeneration project which reimagined the existing relationship between the old terminal building and vehicular and pedestrian movement corridors.

Landmark social centre by Brenac & Gonzalez brings shimmering urban renewal to Colombes

In Colombes, near Paris, a new social centre by Brenac & Gonzalez Associés is a landmark civic building and important addition to the ongoing urban renewal of the town’s Fossés Jean/Bouviers district. Sergio Grazia Core to the design is a sense of transparency. The upper volume, open to the city, seemingly levitates above a mostly glazed ground level, including a lobby and interior street that provide both visual and physical connection across the building and site. Large openings frame atypical rooms such as the visual arts galleries and the media library. Consequently, the activities and nature of the building are largely apparent from the exterior as deep views are afforded into the building. Sergio Grazi... Altro
