These neighborhoods, shaped by historical urban policies and socio-economic challenges, exemplify the intersection between physical disconnection and socio-economic marginalization. Through spatial analysis, urban morphology studies, and policy evaluation, the research examines how public space interventions, ground-floor activation, and improved connectivity can enhance urban vitality and community resilience.
