Propuesta de regeneración urbana participativa para la comunidad "El Gigante", ciudad de Santa Clara.

The Santa Clara community "El Gigante" presents problems in access to first-rate services and other needs of the population. At the request of the key actors of the town, a group from the degree in Architecture of the Universidad Central "Marta Abreu" de Las Villas undertook a project for the urban regeneration of the town. Different research methods and techniques were applied, addressing the community as a complex, dynamic and multidimensional object. The participatory diagnosis carried out detected the absence of public spaces, the poor construction conditions of health and education facilities, the deficient organization of communal services, and the exodus of young people to other areas. The participatory urban regeneration project proposed for said community is aimed at improving the living conditions of the inhabitants through the comprehensive and coordinated intervention of different social, economic, environmental and cultural actors.
