Book excerpt: This is the eighth in the series of Streetscape Territories Notebooks that deal with research and design projects on streetscapes and collective spaces (previous publications were on Williamsburg New York, Collective Spaces, Raval Barcelona, Gowanus New York, Coney Island New York, Common Streetscapes New York and Havana). Streetscape Territories is the name given to an international research project (KU Leuven, Department of Architecture) that focuses on the transformation of the urban fabric and considers its streetscapes the protagonists. The research deals with the way architectural artifacts, open space, the property structure and its inherent accessibility and permeability configure streetscapes and how their inhabitants can give meaning to them.
