The historic city, in both structural and morphological dimensions, has been settle down as a main heritage resource throughout the second half of the 20th century. However, in Spain, its legal protection through city planning tools was not effective until the beginning of this century. By means of a critical and targeted analysis of planning discourses, norms and management, this article displays the characteristics and consequences of its implementation on urban heritage during that period. The study case is Seville, a city with a complex and large historic center, which is an excellent example for extrapolating to other Spanish cities. The results evince that, in spite of an evolution progressively more respectful with the historic city, a combination of economic interests with ideological and professional approaches contributed, in a direct way, to a relevant destruction of the urban heritage of Seville.

The city of Villavicencio has particular characteristics due to its location and its current state, but especially for the territorial configuration from a geo-history of the political economy, due to its relationship with the eastern plains of Colombia, and its close dependence to Bogotá and the Andean area of the country. This article presents a review of the main territorial facts of the formation process of the city from its pre-Hispanic origins in the Guayupe territory to the imposition of the llanera culture in a city populated by Cundiboyacense immigrants and influenced by the colonial haciendas, the phenomena of migration and violence, and the different economic factors that boosted the emergence of an intermediate city with great influence on the national scene.

The future of cities gives rise to the idea of densification and verticalization. An increase of population in a smaller area reduces displacements, consumption of land and energy, although social interaction and mental health are subjects of discussion. In the case of Mexico City, favoring verticality would require a careful adaptation to the local, natural and historical context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Gentrification is a socially based phenomenon that shows the result on the population, economic and morphological evolution in an urban space due to the establishment of social classes with greater economic capacity, causing a great impact in the remodeling and enhancement, both in helmets historical as in any other place in a city. This research addresses the most important factors that shape the gentrification processes, the study of these components is essential to understand the causes, conditions, development and consequences taking as a case study the city of Granada basically in the central areas of the same, although with particularities that will be exposed in the present work. The results show the repercussions of the gentrification process on the state of conservation of the buildings, increase in the request of mortgages for the acquisition of real estate and increase of rents in the downtown area, as well as greater interventions of reform and rehabilitation of buildings, all factors that contribute to the revitalization and revitalization of these spaces.

A large number of studies, mainly conducted in Anglo-Saxon and northern European countries, have found correlations between urban morphology and transport-related physical activity (walking and cycling). From these studies it appears as urban areas of high density, with mixed-uses, lack of services, different transit options and highquality public spaces reduce automobile dependence and increase the opportunities for transport-related physical activity. This article explore the association between urban design variables and physical activity, showing as the results obtained in a European Mediterranean area (municipality of Mairena del Aljarafe) are consistent with the scientific literature. This makes it possible to affirm that in our environment there is also relationship between urban sprawl, physical activity and use of transportrelated physical activity (walking and cycling). These results should serve for urban and territorial planners and managers take measures aimed at preventing the progressive increase sprawl areas and promoting central areas. These measures will help reduce car dependence, increasing transport-related physical activity, and maintaining the three pillars of sustainable development (economic, social and environmental).

The analysis of the influence of the shape of the city in the thermal microclimate thoroughly allows the knowing of the urban elements that support the transformation of the city to more comfortable outdoor environments through planning and urban design. This research aims to determine the thermal microclimate in Saguala Grande city from the previous knowledge of the predominating typological-formal areas. For monitoring of climatic variables, measuring points were located in a mesh throughout the settlement covering all morphological zones. The results have shown climate contrast between the urbanized area and its immediate surroundings, as well as at different times of day and between formalty pological areas that characterize the city. It is further confirmed that the measurement points in a significant relationship between urban elements that shape and behavior of the climatic variables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work is aimed at ascertaining how changes should occur in the city in ways that benefit and improve standards of environmental quality of urban spaces. For this, we started from the analysis of the importance of the management of urban form, from the way the elements that constitute it, influence the behavior of the thermal microclimate. This research aims to identify the typological-formal areas that characterize the city of Sagua la Grande, from the method of photo-interpretation of plans. The results demonstrate the presence of 11 typological formal areas in the city of Sagua la Grande, from analysis criteria that relate urban elements that make the outdoor spaces that influence the thermal microclimate.

With the purpose to discuss some of the contributions brought by the French philosopher and sociologist Henri Lefebvre to the study of urban forms, this theoretical essay turns towards the concreteness of the space in their mental and social existence, and seeks to extract what is called here counter form, understood in this work as the impossible-possible in Lefebvre, virtuality not yet performed, but underlying at practical reality. Along the way, two major sets of concepts introduced by the author are appropriate to understand the form —the immediately form and the morphology of ways of life— as the element that allows the reproduction of social relations. The articulation between the triads form-function-structure and perceived-conceived-lived, the two sets of concepts worked here from the French author, is what leads to find, in the absence of contemporary urban, the presence that allows the possibilities.

The places for the celebration of faith in Rio de Janeiro were a focus of dispute between the various Roman Catholic religious orders in the initial settlement that would centuries later become the present day metropolis. However, one place - known as Largo da Misericòrdia - stands out for its social and cultural uses, its landscape values, its morphology that influenced the city's structural development and, ironically, for being one of the few colonial sites that has held the same name since the second half of the 16th century. In spite of urban fragmentation, the result of the contemporary metropolitan dynamics, the place was the first largo of the city and its structure still conserves traces of its original morphology, revealing an authentic residual landscape preserving much of its formal elements but with very little of the original symbolic meanings.
