Abstract

In many of the processes of urban renewal the Social Space produced by the inhabitants of the existing communities is often overlooked. The project makes a claim for the recognition of this "type of space" and further develops strategies so that the built form can be adaptable and open to the constant production and reproduction of Social Space. Ideas behind open system theory and open city planning are used to create a tool set for an acupunctural urban plan that can deal in this in-between of the purely physical urban environment and the social dynamics it holds.
