Main Article Content
Abstract
The concept of urbanities is revisited from social and urban studies based on the various transformations in the city, within the framework of current globalization, the domain of communication technologies, and the new paradigms of economic and political development, giving rise to renewed forms of citizenship and organization of public and private urban space.
Urbanity is the integration and social interaction that occurs in material spatial support with certain temporal, social, and cultural conditions. Currently, urban areas are supposed to be transformed compared to previous stages. The research questions seek to answer: What are these contemporary urbanities? What are the spatial, temporal, and social conditions incident to its generation? The article's objective is to identify urbanities, and the spatial-temporal requirements for their generation or promotion by observing the public realm (the street and adjacent buildings), and public spaces (squares), in the case of Córdoba, Argentina. The
methodology combines qualitative and quantitative data with in situ observation techniques and photographic surveys. The exploratory analysis is composed of five social spatiotemporal conditions. The conclusions show the diversity of urbanities dependent on the social world where emerging, and the presence or absence of certain conditions may lead to their generation.
