Diseño de parque recreacional en el Barrio San Cayetano

Abstract

Abstract: Green areas are a basic element in urban planning, however, in most Latin American cities there is a huge gap compared to the available green area established by the World Health Organization (WHO). With the following project, the aim is to recover an area that is currently destined for a park, but in an evident state of abandonment. The selected area is located in the northeast of the city of Loja in the neighborhood of San Cayetano; in which today there is an ecuavóley court, which was built by the residents in search of a space for the development of sports activities. Based on the problem, the design of a pocket park is proposed that has the appropriate infrastructure provision, in order to provide safe recreation spaces and healthy environments, as well as expand and improve the green area to rescue the abandoned space and integrate it into the neighborhood.
