| dc.description.abstract | The second half of the XX century saw the growth of several European metropolis. This expansion has both developed the surrounding areas of the cities and created new cities from small villages. There has been a fragmentation of the city’s functions, the center has lost its housing function and is now made up of offices, services, leisure functions or corporate headquarters, while industries moved to peripheral poles near the principal transportation lines. One of the first definitions of this kind of spaces, the urban void, was presented by Manuel de Solà-Morales (1995). He proposed a vision on these spaces (which had not necessarily to find empty) covering both urban and rural areas, with well-defined or undefined limits. Urban voids are characterized by a lack of effective integration in the city, they are forgotten spaces that remain outside the urban dynamics, becoming uninhabited areas, unsafe, unproductive and, consequently, strange to the urban system. To Solà-Morales these spaces show their potential as spaces of freedom in a standardized city, regularized and capitalist, by offering a spontaneous and creative appropriation and informal uses that otherwise couldn’t find their place in the city. In this context, one of intervention strategies is part of the theory of urban acupuncture, defined by Manuel de Solà-Morales (2008), Jaime Lerner (2007, 2008) or Marco Casagrande (2006, 2009, 2014). | |
