By a desire to place these infrastructure as efficient as possible, meaning the trough flow and the building cost/time, these are constructed (location and dimension) without any concern to its adjacent context. The regulations and the dimension of big scale infrastructure make the direct adjacent area difficult to be developing by urban planners and designers. As a result these spaces develop by private initiatives and are developed without the supervision of a spatial organisation or concept. By this an urban fabric formed that mainly is oriented on the car users and hold great obstacles for pedestrian and bicyclist (to gather, travel and hold activities). By this they function as a gap within the urban life of a city, lacking the vitality, connectivity and attractiveness to function as a proper part within the city. This thesis researches the area residual to the A20 and the railroads between Rotterdam central, Schiedam central and Rotterdam Alexander. The area is located between the social-economic weak neighbourhoods of Spangen, Oud Mathenesse, Overschie and Nieuwe Westen. By their location adjacent to infrastructure these hold an autonomous structures, making these isolated island within the city. Within the research six spatial criteria for vitality, attractiveness and connectivity are implemented to show the spatial frailties causing the gap in urban life. This thesis provides spatial strategies and urban design interventions that can integrate this area within its urban fabric, aiming to provide social or economic benefits for the residents within the adjacent neighbourhoods, Urban Regeneration.
