Comparación de las dinámicas de uso y apropiación del espacio público en parques de origen informal y formal: parque Villa de la Torre y parque Cayetano Cañizares

Abstract

The interest of this case study is to compare the dynamics of use and appropriation of public space in formal and informal parks, and discuss its implications for social and urban life, taking as zones the Villa de la Torre park (informal) and the Cayetano Cañizares park (formal). This investigation parts from concepts of use and appropriation of public space, from which the dynamics of formality and informality of the parks studied are examined, exploring what effects their origins may have, and checking if the informal park implies lack of appropriation and conflicting uses, or if instead, the dynamics that occur in public spaces may hold positive and negative dynamic regardless of their origin.
