The processes of urban obsolescence will be increasingly common in an

urbanized world, especially in some territories with a long urban history
such as Europe.
To promote urban regeneration, the key idea is that architecture renewal
in relationship to public spapce can become an urban catalyst, under
certain conditions of design. The desired urban stimulus may be
produced: the improvement of the urban ecosystem and the
environment.

The future involves an architecture that acts together the public space
that can produce reactions that diminish the environmental impact and
promote urban revitalization.
Urban regeneration processes must consider architecture, which
includes the architectural heritage and the new architecture, so that
integrated, they can generate city in the city.

Architecture and public space, when work together, multiplies urban

vitality effects. It is intended to foster neighborhoods with activity at
the local level, with endowments on the edges that are shared with
adjacent areas, but also at the urban and metropolitan level, because
it will have uses that will attract people.

It will be a combination of uses, tipologies and architectural heritage

and the new architecture that will generate its great value. Moreover,
it is also intended to dilute the barrier between public and private
activities, fostering places where employment, facilities and residence
are combined. Places of synergies, exchanges and interconnections.

Architecture, under certain conditions of urban design, promotes

public space as a relationship space, in an intergenerational “plaza”.

Architecture may promote activity and passive surveillance of public

space. Then, future architecture vision promote an urban
development in which the private vehicle is not the protagonist, but
only another mean of transport.

The association between architecture and public space, especially

green areas, allows a mobility mainly pedestrian and cyclist, and
where mobility and public transport are organized in the perimeter in a
hierarchical manner, allowing a large green heart, quiet and sure.
Future green city from the urban cells, the urban tissues.
