Abstract

In this document, an urbanistic and social analysis is performed to the Rio Frio commune, in Floridablanca, to identify the characteristics and determinants of this sector, such as: urban structuring systems; environment-population relation; sector’s urbanism configuration, functioning and physical condition. After this analysis, a lack of effective public space for the people is detected, which brings about problems related to pedestrian mobility, public space invasion, lack of entertaining and recreation activities, and urban vitality. In the search for a solution to this effective public space problem an urban project is posed, which consist of a park that integrates the new urban project Papi Quiero Piña’s pedestrian bridge and the new urban corridor which one extends from 200th street, through the bridge, ending at the Floridablanca old town 5th street. The proposal of this project is, along with supplying the lack of public space, to integrate the cultural movements of this sector which ones still doesn’t have an adequate facility to make their activities, focusing on the cultural impact of the urbanism in this context.
