Abstract
La ciudad de Guayama enfrenta una fragmentación y una obsolescencia urbana acrecentada por la construcción de la autopista PR-54, que divide el casco urbano en norte y sur. Completada en el año 1991, esta ruptura ha provocado el aislamiento del patrimonio histórico, la pérdida de conectividad peatonal y el desplazamiento de servicios hacia la periferia. La investigación analiza cómo esta fragmentación ha afectado la cohesión social y el valor del centro urbano. Se propone
la integración de tipologías de uso mixto como estrategia de revitalización y conexión. Incorporar alimentación, comercio y cultura urbana mediante mercados locales, cocinas comunitarias y huertos urbanos busca reactivar el casco urbano, fortalecer la identidad cultural y mejorar la movilidad. La hipótesis plantea que la incorporación de tipologías arquitectónicas de uso mixto, el diseño urbano participativo y la conectividad funcional pueden restaurar la unidad cultural y espacial de Guayama, promoviendo un ambiente más sostenible, inclusivo y socialmente integrado.
The city of Guayama faces urban fragmentation and urban obsolescence increased by the construction of Highway PR-54, which divides the urban core into northern and southern sectors. Completed in the year 1991, this division has led to the isolation of historical heritage, the loss of pedestrian connectivity, and the displacement of services toward the periphery. The research analyzes how this fragmentation has affected social cohesion and the value of the urban center, proposing the integration of mixed-use typologies as a revitalization and connection strategy. Incorporating, commerce, culture, and urban food systems, through local markets, community kitchens, and urban gardens, aims to reactivate the urban core, strengthen cultural identity, and improve mobility. The hypothesis suggests that the introduction of architectural mixed-use typologies, participatory urban design and functional connectivity can restore the cultural and spacial unity of Guayama, promoting a more sustainable, inclusive, and socially integrated urban environment.
