Abstract
FERNANDEZ DE CORDOVA, Nicole; PAUTA, Rafael and HERMIDA, Carla. Desarrollo Urbano Orientado al Transporte Público: estrategias para un sector del Centro Histórico de Cuenca atravesado por el tranvía. Cuad. urbano [online]. 2023, vol.34, n.34, pp.133-160. ISSN 1853-3655. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.30972/crn.34346558.
The lack of adequate urban planning encourages unsustainable mobility. Faced with this, Transportation Oriented Development - TOD - emerges as an urban design tool, based on high density, diversity of uses and adequate urban infrastructure around public transportation. The Cuenca tramway was taken as a case study, two of its stops and the surrounding areas were selected to analyze its urban dynamics using the TOD Standard methodology and its eight principles. This information was complemented with semi-structured interviews. The results evidenced different problems but also potentialities to turn it into a neighborhood oriented to public transport, through an urban project based on design strategies related to connectivity, densification, diversity of use and generation of public space.
