}}Urban vitality is the quality of spaces in cities that attract diverse groups of people for varied activities over frequent, varied times.JOURNAL, Built environment, urban vitality and social cohesion: Do vibrant neighborhoods foster strong communities?, Landscape and Urban Planning, December 2020, 10.1016/j.landurbplan.2020.103951, Mouratidis, Kostas, Poortinga, Wouter, 204, 103951, 224862850, free, 11250/2823395, free, JOURNAL, Kang, Chaogui, Fan, Dongwan, Jiao, Hongzan, Validating activity, time, and space diversity as essential components of urban vitality, (Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City Science), 2021, 48, 5, 1180â1197, 10.1177/2399808320919771, 218914835, These spaces may be perceived as alive, lively or vibrant, in contrast with low-vitality areas, which may repel people and be perceived as unsafe.AV MEDIA,weblink Ãndice de vitalidad urbana., La aventura del saber. RTVE., 7 February 2019, AV MEDIA,weblink Jane Jacobs y la vitalidad urbana en Barcelona, TEDxBarcelona, 8 September 2021, The urban vitality index is a measure of this quality and has become a fundamental tool in urban planning, especially in interventions for spaces with low vitality.JOURNAL,weblink La importancia de la vitalidad urbana, Ciudades, November 2017, The index is also used to assist the management of spaces that already have high vitality. However, the success of high-vitality spaces can sometimes lead to gentrification and overtourism that may reduce their vitality and initial popularity.JOURNAL,weblink Looking at Barcelona through Jane Jacobs's eyes: Mapping the basic conditions for urban vitality in a Mediterranean conurbation, Land Use Policy, June 2018, 10.1016/j.landusepol.2018.04.026, Delclòs-Alió, Xavier, Miralles-Guasch, Carme, 75, 505â517, 158995589, The concept of urban vitality is based on the works of Jane Jacobs, especially her most influential work, The Death and Life of Great American Cities. In the 1960s, Jacobs criticized the modern and rationalist architecture of Robert Moses and Le Corbusier, whose work centered private cars. She argued that these forms of urban planning overlooked and oversimplified the complexity of human life in diverse communities. She opposed large-scale urban renewal programs that affected neighborhoods and that built freeways through inner cities. She instead advocated compact and mixed-use development with walkable streets and âeyes on the streetâ to deter crime.BOOK, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, Jane Jacobs, The concept of urban vitality is important in Mediterranean urbanism and its history, in which public space, walkability and squares are valued as centers of social interaction and cohesion, in contrast to the Anglo-Saxon urbanism of large, car-centric infrastructures with greater distances between conveniences.JOURNAL,weblink The urban vitality conditions of Jane Jacobs in Barcelona: Residential and smartphone-based tracking measurements of the built environment in a Mediterranean metropolis, Cities, March 2019, 10.1016/j.cities.2018.09.021, Delclòs-Alió, Xavier, Gutiérrez, Aaron, Miralles-Guasch, Carme, 86, 220â228, 158254925, | direction = vertical

Conditions for high urban vitality
Urban vitality can be quantified thanks to the analysis of the elements that determine it. Among them are:JOURNAL,weblink Jane Jacobs en Barcelona: las condiciones para la vitalidad urbana y su relación con la movilidad cotidiana, January 2021, Documents d'Anà lisi Geogrà fica, 67, 1, 51â72, Alió, Xavier Delclòs, Guasch, Carme Miralles i., 10.5565/rev/dag.567, 234023321, free, JOURNAL, Liang, Yang, DâUva, Domenico, Scandiffio, Alessandro, Rolando, Andrea, The more walkable, the more livable? -- can urban attractiveness improve urban vitality?, Transportation Research Procedia, 2022, 60, 322â329, 10.1016/j.trpro.2021.12.042,- Diversity of uses of the space that can attract different types of people for diverse activities and at various times, making the space constantly occupied, improving its security.
- Opportunities for personal contact with blocks, buildings and open spaces that are not too large, as they reduce the number of possible intersections and social interactions.
- Diversity of buildings with varied characteristics and ages, allowing people with different purchasing power to live in all areas of the city, avoiding the formation of ghettos.
- High population density, residential areas are essential to attract other types of activity.
- Accessibility for all people without depending on private transport, with pedestrian access being the most important, as it is the most democratic, sustainable and cheap, followed by access by bicycle and public transport.
- Distance to border elements, such as large buildings, ring roads, surface train tracks or large urban parks that discourage the use of the street.
