Abstract

The following proposal shows the plan for the redesign and modification of the market place Las Flores located in the UPZ 80 Corabastos, in the locality of Kennedy, in the city of Bogota. The objective is to improve the economic, social and urban conditions and dynamics in the sector and the surroundings of the current market place Las Flores. Through the analysis of the environmental, economic, urban and social structure, at macro, meso and micro scale, it was possible to identify the main problems that affect both the current market place and the upz itself. Thus determining that informal commerce, state abandonment and poor urban treatment have deteriorated the urban, social and environmental UPZ of Corabastos. In addition to the above, it was triangulated with the elaboration of surveys to a sample of 30 informal traders and 30 formal traders of the market place Las Flores and its surrounding public space, which yielded results for the feasibility of the formulated project. This proposal was structured in five strategies, the first one is to intervene in the Flores market square, the second one is the design of public space as an articulating axis between the square and the wetland, the third one emphasizes the development of a sustainable project close to zero carbon, the fourth one focuses on the maintenance and protection of the La Vaca wetland and lastly, it seeks the reforestation of the wetlands.
