Public space has reached relevance in planning and the definition of the urban during the last two decades. In Rosario, this centrality has been recovered throughout the history of local urbanism, especially on its waterfront: opening up the central bank was the cornerstone for producing a new image of the city and a new public space. The different public spaces of the city were successfully articulated based on eventual circuits that promote active mobility and physical exercise. Even with the above, the COVID-19 pandemic represented an unforeseen limit to the integration process because there were substantial restrictions on public spaces, and governments restructured the rules for their occupation. By reading the primary urban planning documents, ordinances, and journalistic notes, together with field observations that include twenty situated interviews, the following article reveals some modifications in the redistribution of the use and occupation of public space, as well as of mobilities and the redefinition of the notions of proximity and distance.

Palabras clave : appropriations; COVID-19; public space; mobilities; urban planning.
