Vertical communities or neighborhoods It is the plan that the construction company manages Uribe Schwarzkopf as a solution to the constant population growth of large cities like Quito.
The company that is about to celebrate its 48th anniversary has already started this plan with tall buildings, changing the view of various areas, especially the heart commercial of Quito. In addition, according to information from the Department of Communication, they are close to inaugurating the building highest in the city, the IQON, located in the avenue Shyris and Finland, to the north center of the capital.
The reason for establishing this type of construction as a housing solution, according to Joseph Schwarzkopf, CEO of the construction company is because people they need to centralize everything, have the ease and speed when moving to your home and also have proximity to the services and activities they carry out on a daily basis, within a radius of approximately 15 minutes.
“Buildings must go hand in hand with public projects, For example, him Quito Subway that will change the mobility dynamics in the capital,” he said.
As a consequence, they already build several vertical neighborhoods (buildings) near the stops of this work that the mayor Santiago Guarderas offered that it will start operations in the last quarter of this 2022.
On mobility, Schwarzkopf anticipates that will continue to grow as the population so the traffic due to the number of vehicles will be another challenge with which the authorities will have to work and which they estimate will be solved through the centrality of the places close to the inhabitants’ homes.
Finally, the executive director pointed out, at a breakfast with journalists, that the coronavirus pandemic has affected a phenomenon that has depopulated the city, “many people have sought to go out to the valleys, the mountains and the challenge will be repopulate the capital with these buildings that will have green areas, places of distraction and quick accesses”.
The Metropolitan Council of Quito approved the Land Use and Management Plan (PUGS) for the next 12 years. This document, which was decided on September 13, 2021, is also guided by the motto of “the city of 15 minutes”, with the vision of a compact and polycentric city. (I)
