摘要

Nowadays, cities in vulnerable contexts, too complex and uncertain, establish urbanization actions to achieve order in their territory. Rapidly, urban development is understood exclusively as urbanization and is imposed as a procedure to organize, control, and build a profitable territory. In this way, any space outside an urbanization logic is assumed as an empty space ready to be filled with urban objects. Contrary to the urbanizing vision that prevailed in many cities in Latin America, this chapter proposes the Landscape approach as a way to define context-related and open-ended place intervention processes. The Landscape approach considers the social, urban, and ecological pre-existences of the place/landscape and the multiple interrelationships of the territory elements as a dynamic wholeness. This proposal invites us to rethink the Barrios transformation as the basis for city regeneration and reoccupation processes in an emergency context, such as the border city of Ciudad Juárez.
