Revitalización urbana en espacios residuales. Caso de estudio calle Río Nangaritza de la ciudad de Catamayo - Loja

Abstract

The planning of the cities in Ecuador was mostly proposed according to models of Spanish cities, without considering among others: the physical, topographical, geographical and hydrographic conditions of the territories in which they were to be emplaced; Due to these conditions, urban territories are developed by configuring two types of spaces: first, the consolidation of the planned places, second, the generation of residual spaces without adequate planning. In Catamayo the conditions of the land were not considered, so residual spaces were created, as a result of streams, rainwater courses, canals, among others, these spaces, until now have been abandoned by the authorities; constituting spaces that generate insecurity, social and urban problems. Considering the residual spaces as places that were not conceived in terms of planning, they constitute spaces of promise for the transformation of the city and improvement of the quality of life. Given this scenario with a successful intervention seeks to combat social problems and improve the urban image, thus recovering the value of the public and the quality of life of the user.
