MEDIADORES URBANOS

Lineamientos para la construcción de la Ciudad Pública

Abstract

It seeks to discuss the Mobility/City pair in the contemporary urban context, thinking about mediation strategies to obtain operational design tools and guidelines.

It involves conceiving current disciplinary practices differently, establishing new relationships between urban elements and the physical connection needs that coexist in a given environment, balancing inequalities in the use of public space and contemplating the most vulnerable modes of mobility (pedestrians, bicycles, light electrics ), compared to other more demanding ones such as the private car, managing to technically solve the functional requirements of motorized mobility and simultaneously build an inclusive, diverse and quality public space.

The notion of Urban Mediator that we support conceives a set of tools of an instrumental and operational nature, which establish primary design guidelines, but not their final formalization.

An Urban Mediator is then defined through the implementation of arguments and criteria ahead of formally completed interventions.
