Diseño del sistema de movilidad urbano sostenible en el centro del cantón Quero

Abstract

This study develops a sustainable urban mobility plan for the center of the canton of Quero with the aim of improving accessibility, road safety, and the quality of public spaces. To this end, a comprehensive assessment of the current situation was carried out, which made it possible to identify problems. Next, through the examination of documents and the analysis of reference cases, sustainable urban mobility strategies adapted to the local context were selected, including road hierarchy and direction, optimization of public transport, tree planting along roads, parking regulation, and improvement of pedestrian and road infrastructure. Based on these strategies, a series of standard designs were developed for different types of roads: avenues, secondary streets, local streets, and alleys, incorporating elements such as safe crossings, barrier-free sidewalks, regulated parking areas, and adequate roadside trees. The resulting proposal consolidates a safer, more efficient, and pedestrian-oriented road system and promotes walkable and sustainable environments that improve the environmental and functional quality of the urban center
