Mejora de la cobertura vegetal en el espacio público de la cancha Ciudadela Alvarez para un entorno sostenible de las Parroquias San Blas y Cañaríbamba

Abstract

Cuenca has experienced significant urban expansion that prioritizes housing construction and vehicle proliferation over preserving green areas. The decrease in vegetation cover is limited to the riverbanks and public spaces such as parks, plazas, and small squares. This study aimed to analyze the existing vegetation cover in public spaces such as parks and the Álvarez neighborhood court in sectors 03-01, 03-02, and 03-03 of the San Blas and Cañaribamba parishes and then to determine if the existing vegetation meets the users’ needs in public spaces, incorporating key aspects for urban areas to generate sustainable and habitable spaces. The preliminary project proposal introduces vegetation cover of the Álvarez neighborhood public space without neglecting its initial use for sports by the students of the Zoila Aurora Palacios institution.
