Abstract

The pedestrian public space, called "estancial areas"today is heavily minimized by the automotive and 'priority'that is given to it by the entire society. The design, construction and maintenance of road networks isfocused solely on the road, to the detriment of all other spacessuch as sidewalks and bicycle lanes, squares and viewpoints thatenliven community life and improve the surrounding environment. The current plan does not avoid these precepts, lookingserious gaps in the theoretical understanding of theseimportant spaces -existing and planned before the vehicleandurgently requires to be reformulated in the present tense. This thesis investigates meticulously in the annals of public openspace, in order to find its essence. Then Cuenca Ecuador ispresented as historical case study, from the "Capac Ñan" througharteries that are now extension to their rural parish headers. Key point represents MOEVI or Methodology for theManagement of Public Space Estancial Routes that Connectthe City with their Headers Rural Parish; the same dictatesa spatial concept designed and planned for pedestrians. This latter provision recorded, is specified in themethodological application developed in the Cuenca- El Valle road, where it attends a serie of studies dedicated to revive the public space and revive mobilitynetworks, in harmony with the rural and urban landscape.
