Abstract

The following analysis work will be focused on the Larrea neighborhood located in the center-north of the city of Quito, Larrea was the first planned neighborhood that existed in Quito since the Spanish foundation in the 16th century, in 1908 the neighborhood was occupied exclusively by families of a medium and medium-high social stratum, but over recent years it has been possible to evidence a depopulation due to population migration to the peripheries, which results in the neighborhood character taking another meaning, and It becomes an unconsolidated neighborhood and it looks unsafe at night. The problem to be investigated is the migration of students from the province to the capital in search of a better university offer and the lack of an appropriate place to reside, as well as the lack of public space in this sector, the nearby facilities were analyzed between They are higher education establishments and nearby green areas and public spaces, which is why the main objective is to design a housing unit, focused on higher education students from other provinces of Ecuador, in order to favor the living conditions in general, taking into account the needs of students and implementing a community program for social interaction and integration of the community, allowing free access to activities, thus generating a greater flow of people resulting in a safer space .
