The paper tries to identify, through strategic design axes, some areas in emergency contexts to locate collective spaces serving the local population, such as schools, community centres and spaces for aggregation. These public places have the purpose of regenerating the surrounding context by improving the quality of life and above all by strengthening the identity of the place through social and cultural spaces that the community identifies as landmarks of the settlement fabric. Through the analysis of some case studies in East Africa, the research tries to highlight some infrastructural axes which to locate permanent public services by reducing the distances between inhabited areas and primary services. The aim is to link the scattered and fragmented settlements in the territory without identity, with an axis of public services that could accommodate more functions and at the same time increase their size according to the needs of the local community. A design approach allows these areas to be developed strategically with a new configuration of services along certain infrastructural axes. A well-managed and effective regeneration of these areas in emergency contexts is essential to strengthening the identity of the place. The comparison of the selected case studies could represent an opportunity to rethink the planning of services in emergency areas to provide guidelines for practitioners involved in these particular contexts. And once again the paper wants to demonstrate how an architectural approach can solve a possible organization of spaces within fragmented contexts.
