Abstract

The performance of residential densification and the potential to generate conditions for urbanity in public space are investigated. The objective is to identify the interrelationships between density ranges, residential types, and spatial conditions leading to different urbanities. The analysis methodology addressed two scales: the building scale and the sectoral urban scale with their respective indicators processed in QGIS and Deepthmap, based on closed-perimeter collective housing complexes with different residential densities in Córdoba, Argentina. The results explain that the performance of residential densification in terms of urbanity depends on the modification of urban form components. If their behavior is understood, densification has the potential to generate conditions of urbanity.
