Abstract:

The ever increasing pace of urbanisation in the last decades poses an ever more pressing question as the living space is getting smaller. People living in cities are more numerous than those living in rural areas. With such a trend within already dense urban environment it is impelling to re-question and review the obsolete developing practices on scale of neighbourhoods as well as whole cities. Assessment of already existing space not only to invent more sustainable future development, but, maybe more importantly, also redevelopment of already existing built-up space.This diploma paper delivers a proposal for revitalisation of El Almazén square, Arrecife, which interprets public initiative of city restructuralisation and redevelopment towards more sustainable and livable environment. An essential part of this project is composed of diverse analysis assessing existing condition of the site and the area, which are followed by concept proposal. Based on these analysis and literature review, a new design is developed. This proposal delivers a case study of potential sustainable solution and suggests future direction of neighbourhood, respectively city redevelopment.
