Urban poly-centrality as a strategy for the regeneration of the contemporary city

Abstract

With this article, we intend to contribute to the discussion on the construction of space in the contemporary city, analyzing some recurring problems and seeking possible solutions. Specifically, it is intended to: rethink the notion of centrality, its importance in urban design and possible alternatives; rethink the city with network logic, with neighborhoods as its nodes; seek sustainable solutions for urban functioning and local spatial and productive recovery. The essay carries out a literature review, listing ideas that could be reevaluated and combined, to assist in reflective and proactive actions to improve the city.
