El 15M – ya sea diagnóstico, proceso, movimiento, colectivo o revolución – es uno de los acontecimientos más importantes ocurridos en España desde el estallido de la guerra civil, allá por 1936. No sólo eso: es el proceso que desencadenó verdaderamente la global revolution. Su conjunto de métodos, herramientas digitales, protocolos de actuación, imaginarios y contenido están influyendo al mundo muchísimo más de lo que la mayoría de personas sospechan.

Change Your City: Top 10 Urban Transformation Projects

Change Your City: Top 10 Urban Transformation Projects | Urban Life | Scoop.it

Given the environmental straits we find ourselves in at present, architects and policy makers have to rethink our strategy of how to shape the city, buildings and urban space alike. This entails that we refrain from the strategies of the past and make do with the standing infrastructure that we already have.


Preserving and rehabilitating the aging steel relics of our global cities has proven an ingenious way of saving energy, while enabling newer methods of architectural planning. Projects such as the High Line have kickstarted a new age of urban regeneration–for good or bad–with initiatives from Tel Aviv to Philadelphia attempting to replicate it success on their own turf.

When it comes to urban transformation, size does not matter, per se. The subtleties of thoughtful urban projects shine through at every level, and sometime outperform their more ostentatious contemporaries.
