AYALA-GARCIA, Erika Tatiana. Architecture, public space and the right to the city. Between the physical and the experiential. Rev. Arquit. (Bogotá) [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.2, pp.36-46.  Epub 02-Mar-2022. ISSN 1657-0308.  https://doi.org/10.14718/revarq.2021.3286.

The square is analyzed as an articulating and energizing element of public space, based on the study of its physical and experiential characteristics and its physical, social and historical dimensions, in order to determine its importance within social development and urban planning. For this purpose, an interdisciplinary documentary or bibliographic review methodology is used, under the technique of content analysis focused on the square, based on categories or study topics such as city, urbanism and territorial planning, through which the results were developed utilizing two theoretical components: the physical dimension of public space and the square from the physical and experiential point of view. As a relevant finding, the importance of the square in the construction and strengthening of citizenship under social and anthropological precepts that promote identity, rootedness, and sense of belonging is recognized. Likewise, the importance of diagnosing the quality of the physical environments of the city based on their form and function is determined.

Palabras clave : habitability; history; urban planning; square, sense of belonging.
