PROPUESTA DE RED DE MOVILIDAD MEDIANTE CONCEPTOS DE RESILIENCIA URBANA Y SOSTENIBILIDAD INTEGRADA AL DISEÑO ARQUITECTÓNICO DE UN CENTRO DE ESTUDIOS URBANOS PARA LA CIUDAD DE GUAYAQUIL

Abstract

In recent decades, the urban development of Guayaquil’s city is characterized by presenting an accelerated trend of urbanization, where the exponential increase in urban area and infrastructure affects the relationship of the citizen with the urban space. This problem is evidenced in the conception of a road system dependent on motorized means of transport, which demand many resources that currently affect its inhabitants’ quality of life and represent an impact on the environment. Given the need to generate an adaptable transport model to the intrinsic changes of city development and under the framework of COVID-19, the study seeks to propose a mobility network integrated into the architectural design of a Center for Urban Studies for the city of Guayaquil, through concepts of urban resilience and sustainability. In the research process, to determine the strategies appropriate to the intervention area, a mixed research approach was used where surveys, interviews, walk-audit tools, and the analysis of similar cases allowed the identification of current urban problems. As well as, the contextualization of the behavior patterns of the community in the public space. Thus, the data obtained reveal the critical points in the conception and articulation of the urban-architectural proposal to urban projects sponsored by the Municipality of Guayaquil, the academy, and citizen organizations in the city center.
