ABSTRACT

The Urban Centralities research team has the goal of contributing to the strengthening of centralities as urban scenarios of universal access, promoting the sense of belonging of local communities and consequently contributing to the attractiveness and vitality of urban space. This article provides a summary of the results of research based on a case study reported under five sections. The first section focuses on the research problem and places this in context with Montevideo. The second explores the conceptual theoretical corpus. The third explains the work methodology through the “laboratory”, so-called due to its experimental nature. The fourth defines aspects and centrality attributes to quantitatively and qualitatively quantify the entities studied. The fifth section concludes by proposing a collaborative model for the centralities of Municipality A.
