MOBILITY

Due to the unorganized system of roads, streets and highways observed in the current mobility system of Quilmes, hierarchies are rebalanced. The new hierarchy configurates a grid of primary roads considering the most frequented streets and serves the entire city, connecting it with the neighboring cities. This superblock grid is formulated tracing a few primary roads that leaves inner streets for neighbor access and slow mobility.

A secondary grid of slow mobility corridors is developed accompanying the green urban corridors from the vegetation system. Existing and potential parks, boulevards, and strategic roads are studied in order to trace this secondary grid. Urban magnets, such as schools, commercial areas, sports clubs or public facilities can be found along the slow mobility corridors, guaranteeing their viability and success.

In the riverside, new structural roads are built on top of the berms that help colonize the floodplain. These roads are always perpendicular to the highway and are connected through a floodable road at a lower level, which helps determinate the border between the urban and the natural parks in the floodplain. This way, a system of roads is designed integrated in its ecosystem and environmental logics.
