This research brings an approach on the spatial qualities of the city and its effect on urban sociability from an exploratory case study of a neighborhood of Recife-PE, Brazil. This city has been experiencing a high verticalization and densification of certain areas of the city, the increase of closed interfaces and little diversity of uses of the ground. Thus, we ask: To what extent can spatial configuration influence the types of encounters between individuals that lead to urban sociability? From this, the objective of this research is to identify which morphological and social parameters of a neighborhood would have correlation with a greater urban sociability. For development, the study of the emergence of a social pattern through a questionnaire on urban sociability, based on facet theory, is analyzed and the spatial qualities of the street segment where the interviewees reside are analyzed using the spatial profile methodology. This research intends to reveal how these spatial and social qualities can impact the urban sociability and, in this way, describe those morphological aspects necessary to achieve a good urban quality in the city of Recife.
