Calmed Streets and Public Space San Francisco Four Seasons Hotel
The public space intervention project involves restoring the streets within the area of influence of the Four Seasons San Francisco Hotel, located at the entrance to the Getsemaní neighborhood in Cartagena de Indias, as a living, flexible, humane, and sustainable public space.
The new model of public space is based on the review and updating of the factors that make up the city: a heritage that enhances its character and value as a material entity; a public space and the idea of urbanity that places people at the center, reinforcing proximity and strengthening its multifunctional use; and a green infrastructure that uses nature as an ally in resilience and mitigation of climate change. In this way, a new type of space is being introduced, a new reference landscape that also has the capacity to generate a new urban identity for Getsemaní.
The recovery of this public space we want is a place for those who inhabit it. A place that responds to the needs and desires of its inhabitants, granting them rights and opportunities.

PEDESTRIAN DESIGN PRINCIPLES
The Street as a Public Space: The street is the area of public space designated for circulation, between walls, along which citizens enjoy and move. The street is not just the vehicular roadway; it is the space from wall to wall, consisting of sidewalks, vegetation, furniture, cycle paths, lanes for public and private transport, median strips, functional gardens, and safe pedestrian crossings, among other things.
