Design proposal for urban regeneration in a tourist zone in Bahía de Caráquez.
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research is based on the investigation and analysis of the current perception of the city of Bahía de Caráquez in the canton of Sucre, Manabí, on the subject of plans that help urban renewal and provide a broad vision of how good planning can improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of the city, giving greater priority to pedestrians and the existing biodiversity in the green areas that are in a state of neglect and without care. The urban plans seek to increase tourism in order to reactivate the economy of the area, which is why we want to create a strategy or urban regeneration plan that helps both the population and the city, so that both benefit and change this vision of the city. These processes include physical, economic and social interventions, which are carried out in a participatory and sustainable manner, with the aim of generating a stronger and healthier community. Therefore, urban regeneration is an opportunity to transform urban areas into more livable, safe and attractive spaces, promoting a culture of citizen participation and responsibility in local development.
