    ECO-Resistencia.
    Ecological, Cultural and Organized.

    Public Space is what defines the existence of the city.​

    The central axis of the proposal is to establish an smart strategy with very few operations achieving huge repercussions in the existant Urban Space Grid for the life of the people.

    Conceptually, the idea of ​​the project was framed in the redistribution of existing resources, taking the rigid modular grid of city blocks and grouping them into supra modules of 4x4, 4x3 and 3x3 blocks. The intention is to create micro-neighbourhoods of mixed and dynamic uses, where citizens solve 80% of their  daily activities in less than 12 blocks around. The best strategy for mitigating CO2 emissions and optimising mobility is precisely avoiding the need to move long distances. We promote Eco-mobility by overcoming the old 2meters bike path to 3.30meter bio-path for bicycles, hoovers, electric skateboards, etc.

    In addition to this organisational action, we establish a re-connection with the essence of the natural territory. Avoiding the separation between rural and urban, the proposal establishes a Naturalisation of the City by incorporating a Network of Micro-Forests as devices that guarantee absorption in the face of constant floods and triple the access per inhabitant to the green space established by the WHO.

    We propose a city not only for human beings, but for all living beings. ECO Resistencia's mission is to fill the streets with life.

    Resistencia City Centre Today. A grid intersected by the the natural streams from the wetlands at the north
    The City Centre grid is sadly built above floodable areas from the wetlands
    The City gets flooded every year during the rains season due to the lack of planning considering the environment 
    In addition, the streets are full of cars and motorcycles using the public space for parking
    what if.... we just bring some of the wetlands back?
    The concept is to bring a piece of the sorrounding wetlands back to the urban grain
    We introduced the microforests, a piece of the natural territory, where the cars and motorcyles where parked
    By placing 2 microforests per residential street, to do this we had to create Macroblocks
