ADECUACIONES EN BORDE HIDRICO PARA LA HABITABILIDAD DEL ESPACIO PUBLICO

Contextos urbanos complejos caso Durán Ecuador

Abstract

Public space in the city is the support of its urban structure and spatial component; it is the largest collective construction over time, where bonds of identity, roots, and coexistence are forged. Latin America and the Caribbean is one of the regions with the greatest social inequalities; sometimes the public space of its cities is the scene of crime and insecurity. The natural water edge is analyzed as a territorial divider in a residential context and as a public walkway, abandoned in crisis and decay despite the natural and landscape values it has. The conception of socio-spatial segregation inevitably falls on them, further sharpening its urban problems. Spatial adaptations are proposed that promote habitability, coexistence, and scenic enjoyment of the place to recover the emerging right to public space as a right to the city in places stigmatized by urban violence.
