PROPUESTA DE DISEÑO PARA LA REPOTENCIACIÓN DEL PASEO ISLA MARTINICA, CUENCA-ECUADOR

Abstract

The recovery of public space constitutes an essential challenge in contem-porary cities, where sustainable mobility and adaptation to new urban dyna-mics are priorities. This thesis analyzes how such transformations can turn urban spaces into accessible, functional, and comfortable environments for the entire community. From a multidisciplinary perspective, it explores stra-tegies and technologies that foster effi cient and ecological mobility, as well as the creation of inclusive places that encourage social interaction and co-llective well-being. The selection of Paseo Isla Martinica as a case study is particularly relevant, as it is a strategic yet currently degraded space, whose rehabilitation would have a direct impact on urban connectivity, the streng-thening of sustainable mobility, and the improvement of residents’ quality of life. Case studies from cities that have achieved signifi cant progress in this fi eld are presented, and their lessons are applied to the urban-architectural preliminary design for Paseo Isla Martinica in Cuenca. The project aims to integrate sustainability and accessibility as central pillars, contributing to the development of a more effi cient, friendly, and resilient city.
