Incidencia de las alturas de las edificaciones en el paisaje urbano histórico. Caso El Ejido en la ciudad de Cuenca

The new Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) approach seeks to control impacts and manage sustainable development for the material and immaterial cultural conservation of historical places, maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the cities. When the city of Cuenca was declared Cultural Heritage of Mankind, it compromised to comply with a series of guidelines and recommendations to guarantee its conservation. In recent years, the protection of processes of development in the buffer zones, which are defined as transition spaces, has been included in order to strengthen the protection of patrimonial assets. El Ejido is one of those zones, so the actions that are carried out in that area will affect them directly. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor such actions, among them, to control the height of the new buildings implemented in that space, with the aim of protecting important visuals of the city since the height of the buildings -oriented toward territorial development, modern urbanism, and the processes of urbanization caused by globalization- is identified as a threat to the HUL. The main objective of this research project is to identify and assess points or important areas in El Ejido, which generate important visual relations among the historic city, El Ejido, and the natural and built environment, creating a set of guidelines aimed at their conservation and protection. In order to determine those guidelines, first, a methodology was proposed to identify relevant visuals. Then their value was determined from a technical and citizen perspective with the objective of determining the effects that landscape has had throughout the evolution of the city. Thereupon, the fragility of our study area when faced to new large-scale interventions was determined. Finally, a set of management guidelines and good practices was proposed, focusing on the conservation of the relevant visuals to potentiate positive elements of the landscape and avoid the indiscriminate growth of tall buildings which affect the HUL of the city of Cuenca.
