El barrio y los niños. Diseño urbano inclusivo en la parroquia San Sebastián

Abstract

Abstract: This research paper proposes an urban design project for the Zamora Huayco neighborhood. Its purpose is to contribute future development ideas for the creation of more attractive and inclusive public spaces where children of different ages can participate, providing safety, comfort, and fun, where they can develop their skills. The potential of the area is identified, based on the need for spaces that offer a variety of options so that everyone feels included. Recognizing that children are a fundamental part of society and that public space designs are poorly suited to different ages and lack appropriate access for children and people with disabilities. This project is based on a literature review, layer analysis, workshop development, and an urban proposal. Participatory workshops with children allow for the implementation of architectural strategies that help improve living conditions, raising awareness of spaces and the care they require, thus creating safe spaces based on children's vision.
