This paper aims to contribute with a new commitment to
the concept of urban regeneration, which assumes diffuse/
transgenic territories as new forms of city life, using the
continuous (sub)urbanization we find in the outskirts of
Guimarães as case study.
Along the national roads N101, N105, N206 and N207 a set
of clusters have emerged, slowly, linearly and apparently
disconnected, establishing a set of extensions of the urban
core. We believe that these are not mere links between
different cities; they prolong urban life outside the recognizable
limit of the urban form, although their appearance
does not present itself according to the mental image we
associate to a city.
Therefore, we propose that the concept of urban regeneration
should be applied to these territories, but it should be
considered with a particular approach, different from traditional
solutions: little improvements in the basic structure
of these axes can help to bring the city to the people instead
of bringing the people to the city.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
