Anteproyecto de regeneración urbana para la reducción de la percepción de inseguridad en la calle Antonio Vega Muñoz

The Zorropamba sector, commonly known as the ‘9 de Octubre’, is classified as one of the most insecure places in the historic center of Cuenca. This situation generates a perception of insecurity due to informal commerce, affecting the urban image. It is crucial to intervene in this place and organize the space for merchants,avoidingtheftscenariosandreducingthesenseofinsecurity.Theinterventionnotonlybenefits security but also improves the urban image, pedestrian and vehicular circulation, commercial flows, and social interactions.
