A public space on a metropolitan and neighbourhood scale

When the Cities are organized, a common central void of encounter, an agora, is determined and the constructions are built from that empty space. The new Paque de la Ciudad [literally Park of the City] will be that meeting place, but with a new urban look, designed for its inhabitants and putting in value the environmental quality of the territory, making it a new Ecological Park.

It is located in the South zone between Av. Fernández de la Cruz and Av. Roca, and along with the 130 hectares Indo-American Park and the new Olympic Park (Ex Parque Roca) of 46 ha. making up the second largest public green lung of the City of Buenos Aires

On the other hand, the Census of the urban forest of the City from 1990-2000 shows that 70% of the trees were in sidewalks, 15% in plazas and 15% in parks. Values that change in the 2001-2011 Census, with 88% of trees in sidewalks, 6% in plazas and 6% in parks. This figure indicates that, due to the lack of maintenance and the increasing meteorological inclemencies and the absence of planting of new species, the number of trees in parks has decreased.

That is why the project maintains 100% of the existing vegetation, and at the same time proposes a replanting of 20,000 new specimens, all of them native.
