A refined investigation of new trends in urban analysis assuming a sustainable design of
Areas of Public Space and Meeting (APSM) is a fundamental response to the challenges of inclusive
and efficient cities. Even though the APSM are districts regarded as urban structuring systems, there
is a lack of territorial planning instruments and conceptual models aimed at explaining their longterm
dynamics. Based on these premises, we developed a conceptual model that articulates relevant
variables of interest for the planning and management of APSM. The construction of the model
includes the review and analysis of the literature and the validation process based on a consultation
with a panel of experts on the subject. Our findings demonstrate that the existing research does not
address the APSM issue adequately, and the methodologies proposed so far do not lead to accurate
and comprehensive analyses of urban complexity in light of sustainability targets. There are only
isolated, disjointed, and partial approaches to variables of interest, making it difficult to carry out
holistic studies. Our technical and scientific proposal offers a framework for an exhaustive evaluation
of these areas. The model has been structured according to the assumptions of urban sustainability
and can be applied to diverse urban environments in South America.
