ETULAIN, Juan Carlos  and  GONZALEZ BIFFIS, Alejandra. La evolución del proyecto urbano: Intervenciones urbanas y cambios de paradigmas. Cuad. urbano [online]. 2014, vol.17, n.17, pp.173-196. ISSN 1853-3655.

This paper's subject emerges from the line of research in development linked with Urban Innovations in Contemporary Cities. It emphasizes the intermediate scale or urban project (UP) as a tool for transformation of the city. In this sense, it is the aim of this paper to present the changes undergone in the conceptualization and implementation of UPs by identifying different families or generations of them (exemplified with cases). It is considered that these are emerging from significant contextual and epistemological changes within the structural crisis of advanced capitalism and other processes resulting from the uncertainties characteristic of the inflection between the XX and XXI centuries, which have led societies to question past knowledge and urban practices. The methodological strategy used to identify the evolution of UPs as an instrument of urban change is exploratory in nature and scope based on the identification of cases and national and international thematic planes of reference.

Keywords : Urban Project, Changing Paradigms, Urban Interventions.
