Urban Vision for Córdoba Downtown
Towards a renewed centrality through strategic operations in public space


















This project aims to shape a new metropolitan centrality for Cordoba’s Central Area—placing people at the heart of urban development. With a comprehensive approach, it seeks to revitalize the city center as a hub for cultural life, heritage appreciation, and Córdoba’s identity. At the same time, it boosts economic and tourism potential, turning the area into an attractive neighborhood to live in. Through strategic actions, the project transforms the center into a resilient, dynamic, and safe space—vibrant both day and night, with connected, inclusive mobility and a strong focus on sustainability and community well-being.
Historic centers in Latin America and beyond face similar challenges: population decline, urban decay, loss of heritage, and mono-functional land use. But these issues also open up a powerful opportunity: to rethink their role in contemporary cities by blending historical value with today’s needs. This project proposes a network of public spaces and architecture that foster social interaction, economic exchange, and cultural expression.
To consolidate this transformation, the project is structured around three main strategies, six key thematic pillars, and 24 specific interventions. Its methodological approach not only focuses on revitalizing public spaces but also on coordinating interventions in private spaces that interact with them—understanding that change requires strategic partnerships between the public and private sectors.
Implementation will follow a three-stage Action Plan, forming a cohesive, adaptable network. This holistic approach creates a solid foundation for replicable and sustainable transformation, offering strategic planning tools to guide action and shape public policy toward better urban living conditions.
