Landscape Symbols Author 5: Luis Solano
This case study is a good example of NO democratic landscape. Why?Central Park has historically been a meeting place, meeting, leisure, social gathering, mass events, fairs, a lot of social activity and a striking and characteristic vegetation that gave comfort to the space. However, for 2009 its remodeling is announced in a design process that did not have an open to consultation and public participation. The new space has a much more open and permeable concept, freeing large areas for activities on platforms, and although it allows an incredible view of the mountains of La Carpintera, it reduces the activities of small areas liked by users. Although the space has had a good flexibility and functionality for the different activities that occur in it, the fact of not having the support of the community during its conception broke all the sentimental links and attachments with the space, generating a disagreement with a considerable part of the community. Fortunately, the constant use of space has not been lost thanks to the numerous activities that surround it, even today the symbolism as a social space of encounter is maintained.
My town gets its name literally by a very particular water condition, it is crossed by three important rivers, from here its name Tres Ríos (in English, literally Three Rivers). They are the Chiquito, Cruz and Tiribí rivers. The latter continues through the rest of the city through the southern sector. These water systems have an incalculable value, because in their springs drinking water purification systems are used for consumption in my town and sectors of other large cities such as Desamparados, Curridabat and San Pedro. Unfortunately this is a forgotten landscape, often remembered only during the heavy rainy periods, when nature reminds us of its power. Many rivers increase their channels considerably or leave them causing damage and emergencies. This is a good topic of reflection, to think about how our city is planned, what participation and role the community living in its surroundings takes and the possibility of studying successful cases in Latin America that have incorporated water bodies into urban dynamics.
These mountains with the rivers have an enormous importance in our town at a historical, identity and natural level. Almost every inhabitant of the town has climbed once in his life to the top. Its value as a symbol has lasted over time through many generations, but it has also suffered the pressure of urban growth and deforestation zones. They are part of a larger biological correodor that connects several mountain ranges to the east and west. It was declared a Protected Area in 1976, helping to preserve its fragile ecosystems in an area of 2,396 hectares. and it protects one of the few remanates of the Humid Premontane Forest of the Metropolitan Area of Costa Rica. For those of us who live in the town, these mountains have an enormous sentimental value and sensitivity for nature, and we know of their current fragility. For visitors it is easy to understand the importance of these mountains that remain green throughout the year, their scale and proximity to the center of the town call attention and remind us every day the value of nature linked to the city. Various organizations of the community have been carrying out important educational work regarding the importance and value of this natural system for the people and the country, as well as reforestation.
