The Covid19 pandemic reveals urgent contradictions in our cities, such as having abandoned buildings in urban areas with services, while the health and economic crisis continues to expel population to the peripheries, increases the number of homeless, or causes bankruptcy companies degrading central areas. However, it also revels new opportunities, on the one hand, the reasons for the progressive abandonment of the central areas of Montevideo, held by capital, as well as the challenge to innovate in urban planning and public policies based on access to abandoned or underused urban land, promoting an essential ecological transition post pandemic. We describe the pilot experience of collaborative planning, between the University and the Abandoned Fincas Program of the Municipality of Montevideo, to transform the way of doing urban planning towards distributed interventions that enable civic innovation with social equity in the regeneration of the central area.
