Description: 

San Isidro financial or business district is a great opportunity area, with a great image and economic potential, but at the same time, physically and functionally divided into two by an urban gap with “Paseo de la Republica” highway running north-south. It is a very important urban problem.

The main objectives of the intervention are:

• To knit the city together. Ease mobility and transversal accessibility.
• Equip San Isidro Financial District with open spaces in order to create a “functional attraction pole” on the new areas.
• Have a great number of pedestrian areas, such as parks, squares or public spaces.
• Reduce or eliminate the environmental impact Via Expresa has on the area.
• Keep Via Expresa´s functionality.
• Economically sustainable intervention.
