Rationale: Why is this case interesting?
Please explain in short why this site has green infrastructure potential and what makes it special (150 words approx)
Author's perspective
I have a degree in architecture, I always have being interested in the environment and urbanism, that is why I want to work improving the urban landscape. I'm from Caracas, born and raised, I have studied in "Universidad Central de Venezuela", very close to this place, and casually in the physical center of the city, for me, one of the most disconnected and chaotic places in Caracas. I found potential in this place because in this little area one can find a lot of aspects to create a good Green Infrastructure, river, greenery, cultural places, prominent topography, etc., and the challenge to make this place worth, because in plan is a big green area, but when you walk around you don't feel all these benefits. That's why I think is being missing a great opportunity for the people of the city can enjoy the possibility of having a green pulmon in the middle of the city.
