Coproducción de espacios públicos en la cabecera parroquial Manglaralto, Provincia Santa Elena.

Abstract

The project of co-production and redesign of public space in Manglaralto, carried out by students of the Faculty of Architecture and Design of the Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil, aims to renew the urban image of the parish of Manglaralto, in Santa Elena, Ecuador. The initiative arises due to the interest of the Parish GAD to revitalize the area, which faces socio-economic challenges derived from the lack of tourism and proximity to Montañita. The project focuses on the active participation of local residents and authorities in creating environmentally friendly public spaces suitable for family tourism. The methodology used is based on the co-production of public spaces, taking into account historical, physical and environmental aspects, and using an urban model adapted to local needs. The project, which is limited to intervention in two lots, seeks to improve the quality of life of residents by designing sustainable public spaces.
