The scarcity of economic resources is a reality, especially in underdeveloped and developing countries which, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been worsening even more. Therefore, we understand the importance of seeking solutions that help to mitigate this shortage, through an urban design that is more appropriate for our cities. In this sense, this article proposes the debate on community spaces aimed at income generation, identifying challenges and opportunities in vulnerable communities. Projects from different countries in Latin America were selected that seek to respond to local demands, through social technologies and collaborative design and assisted self-construction processes. The intention was to analyze and identify common characteristics between the projects and systematize the data. Thus, this article aims to contribute to the debate on urban design solutions to improve the quality of life and contribute to the production of more inclusive, resilient, sustainable and healthy cities.
