GUATEMALA FREE CITY

Guatemala Free City

An economical approach to urban design and planning that integrates general and spontaneous rules as integral components for the creation of free cities.
The project favours a free market system as an alternative to the existing in today´s cities. After a research and analysis on data about some of the ¨almost¨ free cities in the world, mainly information in terms of economical freedom and governmental systems. The conclusions were that most of them respond to a system based on general and spontaneous rules rather than governmental imposed and restrictive ones. The urban proposal integrates the system of the ´kiloblock´: by exploiting the urban possibilities of one square kilometre block, the design aspire to provide the necessary rules for a free city to work. The location was practically decided in a sea shore area to have maritime trade area nearby as well as finding more opportunities in the seafront area.
