Abstract

At the Chilean city of Iquique, the decline of the significance of public space is attributed to the reduced availability and functions attached to it,at the same time to the ongoing desire to control the own space (market oriented development).This project aims to deal with the fragmented city, as a result of the influence performed by the presence of urban lost spaces (Voids') over the morphological structure of the city, through an Strategic integrated plan for public space management, which can recognize the dynamic and multiscale values embedded in these urban voids (lost fragments of public space) as platform to re_link and activate a meaningful cohesive public space network.
