Diseño del parque lineal en la marginal del río Paute sector “El Cabo”

Abstract

The project “Diseño del parque lineal en la marginal del río Paute, sector El Cabo” aims to address environmental and urban challenges in the parish of El Cabo, an area with significant recreational and tourism potential but currently affected by deforestation, water pollution, and mining. By creating a 1.6 km linear park, the project seeks to promote sustainable development, enhance resident’s quality of life, and strengthen the connection between the community analysis covering biophysical, socioeconomic, and the design of technical and social strategies. This approach allows for the identification of intervention zones, the encourage recreational and tourism activities. The theoretical framework emphasizes the concept of linear parks as sustainable spaces with social, environmental, and urban functions, while lessons drawn from other cases enrich the design proposals. Ultimately, the project aspires to transform the El Cabo sector into an inclusive and functional space that harmonizes human development with environmental conservation, fostering community well-being and strengthening local tourism.
