Reimaginar la ciudad. Prácticas de ocio juvenil y producción del espacio público urbano

After reviewing some of the most recent discursive transformations in the understanding of urban space, this theoretical article analyses three youth leisure practices, which were selected because of their special link with the city plot: skateboarding, graffiti and the augmented reality game Pokemon Go. We intend to contribute to the understanding of the role of contemporary forms of youth leisure, and the their own types of experience, in the restructuring of the urban imaginary and the production of the public space nowadays.
