Centrito Valle can be understood asa fragment of a city, since it lacks a specific orientation; this is demonstratedthrough the imbalance between the natural, built or artificial aspects and the factthat it is a transition zone that is currentlydisconnected and underused. Housing gradually disappearsto make way for business, leading to abandonment and insecurity. Historically, its focus has relapsed into itsphysical function, forgetting that the city ismainly conformed by people; that it must uniteits inhabitants and facilitate their interaction.Buildings are then appreciated more asobjects isolated to their context, not contributing to the city or interacting with it.Perhaps Centrito Valle changed its uses overthe years, but it remains an exclusive area,with high income and little diversity; it showsa strange inability to be updated, encouraged,repaired or sought out by a new generation.

ACTUAL SITUATION
ACTUAL SITUATION
Since 2009, commercial and mixed-use land uses have increased, displacing single-family housing from the area, creating a greater need forparking than is being provided in Centrito Valle.
The high cost of land has made single family housing unprofitable, lotifications designed for a garden city have led to informal commercial and office development degrading mobility and urban image, andthe absence of regulations governing commercial development has generated awide variety of commerce in terms ofscale but not in terms of affordability.
CENTRITO VALLE VISION
“The Centrito Valle is positioned as acatalyst for a technological intermodal network that extends to the rest of the municipality, where legal transparency empowers thecitizen and, together with the rethinking of regulations, is a balanced and cutting-edge city”. The guiding principles that lead our project are "Inhabited, Connected and Diverse".
