TIMING 2010, gives the opportunity to improve the commercial system currently based on a net of small retail shops. Long ground floor sidewalks and porches are characterized as commercial promenades, where small shops open their windows and display their products. The public space thus becomes a chance to create links and smart knots between small commercial entities, improving their surface, creating new displays and extra facilities usually not included into these very narrow spaces. Our proposal addresses its interest to the small commercial centers trough out the city. These “ground floor commercial roads” that don’t work as a proper public space.
