Analco neighbourhood is Guadalajara's eighth Special Urban Intervention Zone (PIUE), located in the historic centre of the city.
Analco is now a consolidated neighbourhood, with two public squares, two municipal markets, various educational and health facilities, public government offices, wide streets with cycle paths, and is well-connected via line 3 of the light rail network (LRT), and the the BRT that runs along Calzada Independencia Boulevard.
A major challenge is to reduce crime and violence rates in the area, which have arisen due to the neighbourhood being underutilised, and population decline.
Site Area:
The approximate area is 46 hectares, with 44 blocks and 1,279 buildings.
Key information:
The area has a population of 3,416, with a population density of 74 residents per hectare. The area is facing many security threats and safety concerns.
Regeneration priorities & expectations:
Improve connectivity between public spaces, taking advantage of the current urban layout to create superblocks.
Develop a densification policy that proposes different housing options.
Promote Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) and expand MiBici to the Analco neighbourhood.
Promote mixed-use development, incorporating the proximity model and improving local economic development.
Improve existing infrastructure and public service, whilst reactivating underutilised urban spaces.
Improve the area’s environmental impact.
