Urban Analysis of The City of Arequipa
For more than 50 years of the republican life of Peru, Arequipa was the seat of
a series of revolutions, to such an extent that the historian Jorge Basadre will say that "he was the collective leader of Peru." The exponent of this moment in the
History of

SHORT TERM SOLUTION:
Promote Vertical Growth Due to the uncontrolled horizontal growth, it is proposed to densify the city through
vertical growth by building housing complexes and multi-family buildings that, occupying a smaller area,
house a greater number of inhabitants, avoiding depredation of the countryside.
Our city, having several abandoned buildings, must reuse these large spaces, allocating them for the
construction of commercial complexes and
LONG TERM SOLUTION:
This project is based on the culmination of the Majes project with the construction of the dam
Angostura, which will supply sufficient water to irrigate 52,000 hectares of crops, the
energy generation and domestic use. In this way, the accelerated and planned growth of the new city is
guaranteed. Another important aspect for the consolidation of the new city is the interconnection between
Arequipa and the new city of Majes through high-speed roads that allow a constant flow of products and
inhabitants. The most important thing about the creation of a new city is that it will become a pole of
economic development for the region, its main source of income being agroindustry and the energy
resources that can be generated, turning minor commerce into a secondary activity and no longer in the
main one. The new city would not be exposed to volcanism, floods and droughts, reducing the degree of
vulnerability.
MOBILITY CRISIS
O In the functional area, one of the problems that afflicts our city is congestion due to the poor functioning of public transport, which is
made up of vehicles that have already fulfilled their useful and economic life (combis, Yanahuara-Antiquilla transport line) caused by the same
way air pollution.
o The increased growth of informal commerce, settling in sectors not suitable for its development, causing vehicular chaos, as well as infectious
sources since they do not have the basic services necessary for the amount of population that attends them (Markets of the Av. Andrés Avelino
Cáceres), increase vulnerability
O There are infrastructure projects for the improvement and construction of the wastewater system. □ Implementation of a road plan to improve traffic
in Metropolitan Arequipa. □ Implementation of different equipment to improve the quality of life of the population. □ The relocation of shopping
centers that threaten the health of the population (La Parada supply center) □ The approach of building decentralized treatment plants in different parts of the
city. □ Planning the road network to decongest the city with three ring roads.
