| Sumario: | The traditional preindustrial monocentric city has exploded, breaking out of its limits. New forms of territorial and urban organization have been configured across and along the infrastructures, and new central spaces have been formed. Historical centers have lost their attraction and potential to create relationships, as well as their social identification value. These changes have generated stretched and discontinuous cities that tend, in general, to lean towards a polycentric model based on an idea of new urban centralities that not only are ambiguous and contradictory in their principles of urban equity but also produce banal "central" spaces, devoid of civility. We suggest an approach to the relationship between urban infrastructure and centrality, which highlights the critical aspects of this relationship. On one hand, the concept of urban centrality is currently commonly used when speaking about urban planning and urban projects, to make proposals that define both organizational patterns and areas of operation in the cities, with the objective of achieving a territorial equilibrium. On the other hand, the infrastructural projects and their spaces in themselves seem to be privileged areas and windows of opportunity to empower, promote and realize urban centrality transformations. |
