Abstract
Informal settlements that were created on the banks of the Babahoyo River in the province of Los Ríos have become architectural elements of cultural identity in Ecuador. However, this heritage has been affected over the years due to multiple causes which has resulted in a notable exclusion of basic services and the decrease of cultural identity spaces in the urban development of Babahoyo. In the present work a strategic plan with cultural identity is proposed to delimit the historic center of Babahoyo. The proposal considers the renovation of traditional public spaces through prospective methodologies that relate tangible, intangible factors, natural or man-made elements as well as the forms and practices of public space with the objective of contributing to the renewal of the urban image of the city and boost local tourism.
