El espacio público y el barrio. Diseño urbano adaptativo al cambio climático. Caso de estudio: Barrio Colinas Lojanas de la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract:The following research focuses on the urban design of public spaces based on adaptive guidelines to climate change in peripheral neighborhoods, specifically the Colinas Lojanas neighborhood of the city of Loja. An analysis of vulnerability to climate change in the neighborhood is initially developed, through the raising of variables and indicators of the built environment and natural environment of the sector. The crossing of information by superimposing layers of these variables and indicators will result in a general synthesis, where the critical areas of the neighborhood and the current state of vulnerability are obtained. With the critical areas defined, the proposal is carried out under three strategic axes, general road design - housing typology, intervention in critical areas and architectural urban design of public space, with which it is intended to improve the image of the neighborhood, the standard of living, the level of vulnerability and the quality of existing spaces.
