Anteproyecto de rehabilitación del parque del barrio La Florida de la ciudad de Macas

Abstract

The park in the La Florida neighborhood, located in the city of Macas, Morona Santiago Province, is in a state of neglect due to a lack of maintenance, lighting, and street furniture, which has limited its use and undermined its social function as a community gathering space. In response to this issue, this project aims to develop a preliminary architectural design for comprehensive rehabilitation that will restore the park’s social, environmental, and landscape value, incorporating criteria of sustainability and citizen participation. The proposed methodology combines a physical and social assessment of the area, a review of theoretical and regulatory frameworks, and the application of urban design, landscaping, and lighting strategies adapted to the Amazonian context. Through collaboration with the neighborhood committee and local residents, the goal is to create an inclusive and safe public space that fosters neighborhood integration, interaction among children, youth, and adults, and a sense of belonging, thereby contributing to improved quality of life and the strengthening of Macas’s urban identity.
