Urban planning is in a process of change. The established structures for decision-making are questioned, new participatory processes are tested in the planning of public buildings and a new culture of planning is demanded. This is especially evident in different collective groups of urbanism and architecture, which were founded in recent decades and seek to transform and improve the urban space with the help of participatory procedures and in cooperation with the local population. The fact that this model of participatory processes can facilitate “a bottom-up city” will be illustrated in this article using the example of different activities in the city of Piura carried out by the collective FuturoPiura. In order to influence the population's concern about the improvement of the city and act with the intention of optimizing the quality of life of citizens, FuturoPiura has been carryi...

La planificación urbana está en un proceso de cambio. Se cuestionan las estructuras establecidas para la toma de decisiones, se prueban nuevos procesos participativos en la planificación de edificios públicos y se exige una nueva cultura de planificación. Esto es especialmente evidente en los colectivos de urbanismo y la arquitectura, que se fundaron en las últimas décadas y buscan transformar y mejorar el espacio urbano con la ayuda de procedimientos participativos y en cooperación con la población local. El hecho de que este modelo de procesos participativos puede facilitar “una ciudad bottom-up” se ilustrará en este artículo usando el ejemplo de diferentes actividades en la ciudad de Piura realizadas por el colectivo FuturoPiura. Con el fin de incidir en la preocupación de la población acerca de mejora de la ciudad y actuar con la intención de optimizar la calidad de...

Urbanization has driven economic development and improved quality of life, but it has also generated environmental problems such as pollution and inadequate water management. This article explores the landscape of the northern coastal desert of Peru and the water challenges it faces, particularly in Piura, one of the regions most affected by water scarcity. Aiming to propose solutions for integrated and sustainable water management, this work, based on research conducted with architecture students from the University of Piura, analyzes the implementation of concepts such as Ecological Infrastructure (EI), Water-Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD), and Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) in the city’s public spaces. These strategies seek to overcome recurring water risks, maximize efficient water use, and improve the management of wastewater, stormwater, and groundwater, contributing to human health...
