The results of the study of the urban facilities of the northern and southern districts of the city of Granada are presented based on their spatial location conditions. A methodology is proposed to evaluate the way in which these conditions influence the capacity of each urban facility to generate social cohesion in the urban environment. Urban facilities have a social function as collective urban nodes, becoming places of meeting and linking the collective sphere. Currently, the social and spatial fragmentation of cities is increasing, which deepens the social fragmentation of public spaces. Thus, it is necessary to strengthen social cohesion using the available public resources: public spaces and the set of urban facilities. An adequate location of public buildings in the urban fabric promotes social interaction and the strengthening of the social capital of the neighbourhoods. The research establishes a study at two levels, morphological and social. A comparable set of multifunctional urban facilities (civic centres, sports centres and health centres) is addressed. The results allow us to conclude with a series of patterns and criteria for the location and urban design of facilities in the city to promote the economic and social activation of urban areas and strengthen the social fabric of these vulnerable neighbourhoods.
