EGEA JIMENEZ, Carmen  e  SALAMANCA OSPINA, Edwar Leonardo. Sociabilities on the town squares of Buenos Aires. Uses, users and urban design. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.2, pp.517-556.  Epub 30-Jun-2020. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v35i2.1880.

The article is part of a broader research on the analysis of public spaces and places from the approach of sociability, considering a theoretical-methodological reflection focused on three squares of Buenos Aires: Madero Harbour, Lavalle and Spain. Three analysis tools are used: the urban walk, the field notebook and the survey. Some results indicate that sociability is present in many ways in the three places; that people enjoy the space together with familiar people and in contact with strangers; that the use develops a creative spatial experience beyond the design; and that distance is not decisive for its use.

Palavras-chave : public spaces; town squares; sociability; socio-spatial practices; urban travel.
