In the last years, public spaces in urban centers have been the focus of attention of professionals in architecture, urban planning, sociology, anthropology, geography and, also, the users who frequent them. Squares occupy a central place in the network of public spaces in the city center and offer a unique landscape that is defined by relationship between their land they occupy and the buildings that outline them. But this landscape is deteriorating due to the renovation of historic buildings and aggressive action on the ground. The analysis of the level of deterioration of the buildings and ground of the 79 squares in the historic center of Madrid shows the intensity of this phenomenon, points to the explanatory factors and attempt to diagnose the current quality of these areas. The results of this empirical study seek to contribute to the understanding of the current crisis of public spaces and the legal initiatives which aim to restrict it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article considers the daily scenery of the contemporary city that explicitly shows the dislocation of the natural and social systems which creates barriers that fragment the territory. This hypothesis is stated after checking the territorial occupation patterns and the scenery created by the research experience on Mexican and Spanish cities. Their daily urban scenery is a sample of the (expansionist and consumer) predominant occupation pattern that has imposed an order to the territory and that makes tabula rasa of the historical and cultural past. A look between the research and the action, a dialogue between the user and the specialist dissection are proposed in order to identify and characterize the scenery, letting differentiate and individualize units. This is a diagnose of the highly deficient way the territory is managed and a proposal of a method that speeds up the use as a operative instrument for planning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
