Integración de los barrios periféricos de la ciudad de Catamayo

Abstract

Abstract: The continuousurban expansion ofCatamayocityhas resulted in peripheral sectorswhichlack basic infrastructure and public facilities, the areas in which these neighborhoods have settled are characterized by having irregular topography, organic urban fabric, and roaddiscontinuity, among others. For technical reasons, these areas include storage tanks and drinking water supply for some sectors of the city; however, these tanks have no connection to the immediate environment, being themselves isolated from the urban fabric. This research addresses the idea of proposing an urban architectural proposal in which some peripheral neighborhoods located to the north-east of the city of Catamayo are reactivated. The intervention proposes to reuse drinking water storage tanks; and to be able to create through the union of the same a network of public spaces; in this way integrating neighborhoods not only spatially but also contributing to social, cultural and urban equality, contributing to improve the quality of population's life.
