Rehabilitación del Parque Lineal Malecón de Crespo en Cartagena de Indias. Rediseño del tramo central comprendido entre los kilómetros 1.10 y 1.35

Abstract

The Rehabilitation of the Parque Lineal Malecón de Crespo in Cartagena de Indias aims to revitalize the public space through a sustainable design that enhances the quality of life for its users, promotes safety, and highlights the cultural and touristic value of the area. The project includes an urban diagnosis, analysis of architectural references, and the formulation of a comprehensive redesign proposal. The methodology employs a mixed approach, combining tools for urban and regulatory analysis with community participation. The redesign of the central section (km 1.10 to 1.35) prioritizes the integration of recreational and resting infrastructures, improvement of the lighting system, redesign of the bike path, and the implementation of sustainable materials, all guided by strategies for low environmental impact and universal accessibility. Key outcomes include inclusive spaces for play and recreation, resting areas, and seamless transitions that connect the park to its coastal surroundings. This project goes beyond functional rehabilitation by redefining the role of coastal public spaces in the city, balancing social, environmental, and cultural needs, and positioning the park as a model for sustainable development and urban cohesion.
