Martine Chazelas a repéré pour vous cet article disponible en PEBTechnological development, globalization and the changes in  interpersonal and intergenerational relations, and their attendant  needs, have transformed the places making up a territory. New types of  places have arisen while the use of existing spaces has been modified.  The sustainability of a place depends on a series of factors which  contribute to the quality of life, sense of place and recognition of  identity. An activity such as walking, which in itself is obviously  'sustainable', can become non-sustainable if the context in which it is  carried out does not meet the conditions for an adequate quality of  life. This work proposes the analytical method of PlaceMaker and the  relative complex map to identify and represent the urban elements in  contemporary cities and support sustainable urban identity design. The  method's potential for areas with a predominantly pedestrian vocation is  illustrated by means of a case study: the Ramblas in Barcelona. LienMartine
