Connect & correlate

Socio-spatial fragmentation is the norm for urban landscapes worldwide, consisting of unconnected spatial bits and pieces an disparate communities. In Europe, an old city centre is easily juxtapoed with abandoned industry, a gleaming business district, densely populated skyscrapers, and agricultural land. To avoid socio-spatial polarisation, urban porosity is the basis for tolerance. The projects in this chapter aim to design spatial connections and correlate hitherto unconnected urban fragments for different user groups, such as the Voca de la Mina Promenade in Reus, Spain, and the Claypits in Glasgow, UK.
