The Calle de los Estudiantes in the city of Bucaramanga, Colombia, receives a massive flow of students, workers and locals on a daily basis. Identifying the problem in the public space of the sector, it is the proposed for an urban design for the place. The phase of this research include an approach to the problems of the project and theoretical analysis based on a study of world-renowned urban designs, identifying efficient points considered in the approaches, which are valid when executing this proposal for urban design. A study of the area was carried out considering the components of mobility and public space through demographic, ethnographic, environmental, pedestrian and vehicular traffic analysis, among others. Additionally, identification and analysis of climatic determinants, urban components and the user was carried out to reach valid conclusions from the context of the place that pose critical situations susceptible to improvement. The guidelines of the Land Management Plan (POT) and the Public Space Manual of Bucaramanga (MEPB), were examined, that allow valid conclusions to be reached to propose a fundamental urban design in the revitalization and development of the sector, incorporating functional aspects, space and mobility into the design, as well as expansion of green areas and priority for pedestrians.
