The paper portrays the Plazuela de la Campana, a historical small square in the Port of Veracruz, Mexico that fell into illuse and was revived with a strategy of music and dance events. The case demonstrates how music and dance became a new tradition that nurtures a collective attachment to the Plazuela and contributes to it being regarded as heritage. The privately initiated revitalisation borrows potency from prior nostalgic memories and traditions to overpower the past notoriety of the square. Dance and music, besides creating pleasant associations, effectively build a network of friendships that engages people in the square and through which the history of the place becomes remembered. All these effects deepen the meaningfulness of the Plazuela, which fosters personal affection towards the square and ultimately, it is proposed, translates into a general appreciation-a lesson to be learned for emerging urban planning practices.
Adaptability and resilience are recognized as essential elements of urban sustainability, yet they remain elusive as propositions supported by empirical research. In the research presented here the affordance of change and continuity – here termed changeability – is investigated through a comparative historical study of two suburban centres in London - Surbiton and South Norwood - which have matured differently, despite many extrinsic similarities. Their development c.1880–2013 is examined through the analysis of digitized historical maps, building use and space syntax analysis of their street plans. Buildings on busy, but not necessarily the busiest, streets in small town centres are said to be the most changeable since they can accommodate a variety of non-domestic uses. Such streets tend to facilitate incremental building modifications and cyclical redevelopment on widefronted plots.

Infra-ordinario es un estudio urbano de la plazuela de la Campana, un espacio público en el centro histórico de Veracruz, México. El término "infra-ordinario" se refiere a acontecimientos diarios, acciones y hábitos que son anodinos y pasan casi inadvertidos, como caminar, descansar y recrearse en la plazuela. Este estudio muestra la manera en que la vida urbana de este espacio público emerge por medio de eventos ordinarios y cómo la morfología urbana y la historia conforman el espacio social.
