Proyecto de intervención integral urbana en barrios vulnerables de la ciudad de Loja. Carigán, como caso de estudio

Abstract

Abstract: Carigán neighborhood is located at the west of Loja city, which according to previous studies presents fundamental characteristics and indexes that make it a vulnerable territory in different aspects like social, economic, environmental and urban space aspects. Among which stand out: poverty, lack of basic services, deteriorating urban equipment, lack of public spaces and spatial segregation, which made this neighborhood a little passable place by the same Lojana s population because of the informal settlements given over time by the dwellers without urban planning. In this context, this research intends to propose a solution through a comprehensive urban intervention for Carigán neighborhood, with the help of urban planning and architectural intervention tools, that reduce vulnerability conditions, improve the well-being of the people who reside in it and connect this neighborhood with the central part of the city and with the surrounding neighborhoods.
