NEIGHBORHOOD INTERVENTION
The city intervention was an urban proposal for two Mexico City townships´. They needed an urban analysis to determine urban and architectonic strategies in order to ameliorate the area. After the urban analysis, an architecture strategy for one site in the study area was developed.
The first proceeding was to study the area in different aspects as heights, pedestrian circulation, vehicular circulation, public transportation, green areas, conflict points between pedestrian and vehicles, activities of the area and the different kind of flows .
Next, an urban analysis plan with the collected information was made. Also, the plan contains the urban strategies for the area for its development and enhancement.
Finally, a site was selected in which an architecture project was proposed for the area. The project was a set of buildings with recreational activities for the inhabitants of the townships. Moreover, the project will help to trigger the urban strategies proposed first.

The site for the architectonic intervention was selected after de urban analysis. Therefore, it has a strategical location in the area that might help in the development of it. Also, the architectonic intervention will have the function of reinforcing and trigger the urban strategies.
The activities selected for the buildings were chosen to provide recreational activities to the townships because of the lack of them. This will also represent the increase of public space.
The project for the site includes a vegetation and paving proposal that connects the streets, pedestrian flows and green corridors with the project. Also, this defines the building positions and the connection between them.
The set of buildings that formed the project area are divided in:
The project focuses on the best relationship between activities of buildings and with their surroundings, in order to be functional and concordant with the urban strategies.
