Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the connections between sports and Urban Regeneration, and the role these connections can have in the communities of the cities. The promotion of physical activity within urban areas is today a driving force for economic and social development, and intervenes in the fragile conditions of cities. Design, as a discipline of connection between the active components of these transformations, becomes an instrument of inclusion. The interaction between people and urban space is central in promoting physical activity and a diversified community commitment. The paper investigates practices and tools of the discipline in the relationship between urban spaces and sports practices, and how this relationship leads communities to conceive new development opportunities.
