Abstract

The research establishes a unique relationship between mural art, public spaces, and iconic places in Guayaquil. It provides an ideal setting to propose practices that integrate society, community, and the urban aspects of this context. Urban art allows us to rehabilitate and enhance new experiences, resulting in the expansion of cultural identity and social cohesion. This project proposes an urban intervention of Panama Street through a pedestrian passage, to connect the artistic context, such as the murals found in this section of the city, with the natural border of urban growth. The first node is set to be established at Panama Street, serving as an initial proposal to encourage cultural strengthening and identity. Keywords: Reduced mobility, mass transportation, pollution, public spaces. The objective is to achieve a clear understanding of the most critical aspects of murals and urban art, delving into the history that these paintings depict helping to distinguish the significant urban features of the city. Additionally, it links the community with social actions, as some elements promote the study of mural artworks found in the most influential public streets.
