Petare Norte Restoration

About this Project

The aim for this project was to create a gateway into the community. This was achieved by transforming the experience of the existing streets and bridges through the implementation of green spaces and public activities. The goal for the initial site proposal was to sew la urbina and the slums of petare norte together through these spaces. The existing bridge was extended to allow walking paths and a public market space for local residents. Two buildings that bookend the bridge include an existing train station and new amenities including workshops that can teach residents important life skills including, sewing, gardening and educational classes. Other amenities implemented on the site are shops and eateries, along with cultural and sports facilities.
