Renovación del eje vial de la calle 13 del municipio de socorro, Santander. (Colombia)

Abstract

Added to the myriad of stories, myths and legends that have been created over time, hundreds and hundreds of commemorative events and the passage of great heroes of independence who not only walked through this place but were part of great moments of the process of independence of the country; the historic center of the urban center of the the Municipality of Socorro (Santander) is testimony of the deeds of José Antonio Galán, Manuela Beltrán and other great number of heroes, notable citizens and religious communities that in one way or another left a mark of their passage thanks to a considerable number of architectural monuments that reflected the opulence and economic power that municipality used, often displayed in its public space. Therefore, the present work recognizes the patrimonial values present in the historic center of Socorro and proposes the recovery and renovation of the old axis of 13th Street that crosses a large part of the old part of the Municipality and that may well be part of the historical routes of the place to give a socio-cultural approach, thanks to its great potential acquired from the colony and reinforced in the commune era. It is then part of a reading of the territory that will identify the respective strengths and weaknesses to continue towards a proposal for and renovation of this urban axis that will help in the tourist, cultural and economic reactivation of the urban area, being its main strategy to give importance to the pedestrian before the vehicle.
