Metodología para la planificación de espacios públicos en corredores viarios urbanos que sean sostenibles para ciudades de hasta 300.000 habitantes

Abstract

With the emergence of new trends and visions in contemporary urban areas, such as urban road corridors, a critical reflection is born about the fundamental and basic aspects of urban planning. These models do not align with urban agendas that promote equity, accessibility, recreational activities, social activities, sports activities, comfort, and safety. The objective that was developed was to study the planning of public spaces in urban road corridors in cities with up to 300,000 inhabitants. In this research, the methods of documentary and field analysis were applied from the point of view of urban mobility and public spaces. The section of Avenida 25 de Junio from the Y of El Cambio to the North Beltway of the city of Machala was chosen. In the exploratory analysis, concepts, variables and promising hypotheses were identified to investigate the object of investigation for the planning and design of urban road corridors. The descriptive analysis allowed us to specify key principles such as, community participation, prioritization within urban road systems, and corridor design and management considerations. As a result, there is a methodology for the planning of public spaces in urban road corridors through the construction of a relationship matrix that allows the formulation of policies, strategies and actions for the management of sustainable urban mobility, conditioning the road corridor in aspects such as: Accessibility spatial and visual, afforestation, condition of public spaces, state of use of sidewalks
