Intervención urbana y recuperación del espacio público en el barrio Carmen de Guzho Alto de la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract:

The main objective of this titling work is to improve the spatial urban conditions of the Carmen de Guzho Alto neighborhood in the city of Cuenca. In order to fulfill it, it has been proposed to carry out different participatory workshops with the inhabitants of the neighborhood, in which Tactical Urbanism is used as a methodological basis, whose main foundation is to include the communities as a central axis, prioritizing their perspective and criteria in the development of the preliminary project. The workshops are based on four fundamental stages, which consist of: • Explore what it means to carry out a participatory diagnosis, that is, to know what the community perspective is. • Dreaming which consists of constructive criticism of the urban system together with the community. • Participate, which is based on participatory design and the collection of proposals from the inhabitants. • Reflect where the objective is to share the interpretations, analyses, experiences and recommendations generated throughout the entire methodological process. Finally, as a result, a participatory design was obtained in which the main needs and problems of the inhabitants of the neighborhood were resolved. The selected space was able to accommodate the ideas of the population and were able to transform them into quality architectural designs that embrace the principles of participatory urban planning.
