Abstract
La presencia criminal es una constante en la vida de todo puertorriqueño y, con cada día que pasa, el temor, la inseguridad y, peor aún, la apatía, siguen creciendo. La zona de Levittown es una con abundancia de problemas ambientales, económicos, de infraestructura y por su puesto de criminalidad. Otro problema observable en la zona es la presencia y deterioro de estructuras y espacios urbanos abandonados, un asunto que guarda relación con la criminalidad y el sentido y percepción de seguridad de la comunidad. Es en la búsqueda de soluciones para estos que se realiza esta investigación, particularmente desde el ángulo de las artes. Este campo ha demostrado beneficioso en el desarrollo individual y social previamente y su aplicación, utilizando la arquitectura como vehículo, puede servir para el desarrollo del capital social y mitigación criminal. Específicamente, esta investigación estudiará el contexto criminal y urbano de Levittown con el fin proponer estrategias de diseño que sirvan para enfrentar estas problemáticas.
The criminal presence is a constant in the life of every Puerto Rican and, with each passing day, fear, insecurity and worse, apathy, continue to grow. The Levittown area is one with an abundance of environmental, economic, infrastructural and, of course, criminality issues. Another observable problem in the area is the presence and deterioration of abandoned urban structures and spaces, an issue that relates to criminality and the sense and perception of security of the community. It is in the search for solutions for these that this research is carried out, particularly from the angle of the arts. This field has proven beneficial in individual and social development previously and its application, using architecture as a vehicle, can serve for the development of social capital and criminal mitigation. Specifically, this investigation will study the criminal and urban context of Levittown in order to propose design strategies that serve to address these issues.
