Abstract

Putting a value on the importance of human interaction in neighbourhoods to promote vitality, public spaces represent the hub of social control over territories. Chilean neighbourhoods have followed a transformation pattern similar to that observed in European and North American cities. This study aims to evaluate the quality of public spaces, according to users perceptions. It follows an empirical case study approach with a qualitative observation analysis. It utilizes the concept of nodality as a dimension of sustainable urban form that is defined by its size, level and type. A new perspective is highlighted to help officials progress with new tools and methods to achieve better design results. This can be seen as a step forward towards more inclusive city development and can expose the discussion of new systems of organizing cities according to people's perception and behaviour in space.
