Abstract
This article deals with relations between processes of spatial appropriation, urban vitality and morphology. Based on classical as well as contemporary authors, it finds support on empirical data recently produced. Urban analyses procedures tend to cut the ‘object city’ into pieces according to different disciplines – geography, history, sociology, anthropology, urbanism, etc.. Each one ‘reveals’ what it wants to see and obliterates what it considers irrelevant to its disciplinary purposes.
This paper addresses spatial appropriation of urban public space as agenerous processes – once triggered it acknowledges and aggregates multiple qualitative dimensions of the urban space, when thus allowed. Under certain conditions, they produces, temporary with consolidating perspectives, ‘urban nest’s – morphological configurations that support us, with more or less fruition, due to the local vitality it engenders. It focuses on the process of ‘urban nests making’ that proved important to locals’ quality of life. Illustrated by empirical studies this article finalizes pointing out new and older questions not always considered in urban analysis.
