Diseño urbano estratégico: eje revitalizador de espacio público en el canal salitre como hito urbano enriqueciendo la imagen urbana y el paisaje

Abstract

Given the need for a planned intervention to promote public space decided to mitigate the lack of linkage between the sector of Teusaquillo and Barrios Unidos with the Salitre canal of the Arzobispo river initially seen since the nineteenth century with the urban advance of the sector and the isolation of the Salitre canal that was completely trapped in Av. 30, which also led to the neglect of the canal with the invasion of street dwellers and pollution by garbage from nearby sectors unleashing urban-environmental and social problems. The present project is based on producing a revitalization of the Salitre canal that allows the development of public spaces for the society to meet, in order to improve the urban life of the sector through strategic actions distributed in an extension of 3.0 km along the canal. A 400m strategic intervention zone is determined, designed based on the definition of the urban image, the landscape and the detailing of multifunctional spaces where people can interact under cultural, social and economic aspects.
