    Most of the neighborhood parks located in the urban limits of the city of Cuenca have common characteristics; they are usually designed for a group stereotype and discriminate against users with different types of limitations and disabilities. Such is the case of older adults who are conditioned in this type of spaces by their design and function. Demographic data foresee an increase in the population of people over 60 years of age. This means that goods, infrastructure, programs and projects must be designed for this growing population sector. The need for a park for the elderly is evident, so a design that satisfies the current deficiencies is also evident. In order to obtain favorable results and a good architectural urban design, it is proposed to analyze basic concepts related to public space and the elderly.

Choosing through these criteria the Iberia Park. Finally, under a site analysis and previous strategies of the different chapters to generate a correct redesign of a neighborhood park for the welfare of the elderly in the urban area of the city of Cuenca.
