Estrategias de recuperación urbana para el espacio del aeropuerto José María Velasco Ibarra de la ciudad de Macará

Abstract

Abstract: This urban recovery proposal addresses the problem of the urban void generated by the abandonment of the former José María Velasco Ibarra Airport in Macará. It seeks to address this issue by transforming this underutilized space through a strategic urban intervention that achieves the articulation of the space through an urban green fabric where the main connecting axis is the former airport, a structuring axis that fosters social cohesion, local development, and an improved quality of life for the population. This strategic planning also seeks to achieve a sustainable city using alternative energy sources such as solar energy, and to incorporate urban green areas into the city that will generate microclimates that cool the urban soil. At the same time, it seeks to promote economic development and revitalize public life through a multifunctional park with new uses and flexible recreational, cultural, and educational facilities.
