Plan especial de ordenación urbanística del barrio San José de Balzay Sur de la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

Urban planning, as a land-use planning tool, faces the task of promoting the transformation of cities in a cohesive, supportive and sustainable manner in order to make possible desired futures for settlements with problematic conditions. These problems can be solved more effectively by taking early action. This work develops a planning proposal for the San José de Balzay Sur neighborhood, located in the periphery of Cuenca, which was the product of urban expansion in the eighties. This purely residential area demonstrates the lack of urban planning processes, although it is on the verge of consolidation. For this reason, this Special Plan contributes, to the extent possible, to the consolidation of the settlement in a more orderly manner. As a result, and due to the scope of the neighborhood, the present Special Urban Development Plan for San José de Balzay Sur of the city of Cuenca, proposes mainly the improvement of living, working, and environmental conditions of the neighborhood.
