To all, thank you very much. 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND LIST OF RECOMMENDATIONS This report describes the Advisory Mission carried out for the City of Quito, a property inscribed on the World Heritage List since 1978. The Advisory Mission was derived from the request made by the State Party to assess the following aspects of Decision 37 COM 7B.97, adopted by the World Heritage Committee at its 37th session (Phnom Penh, 2013): “Assess the current state of conservation of the property and the development progress of the comprehensive conservation plan for the different sectors of cultural heritage, on guidelines and criteria established for the interventions in terms of changes of use. The mission will provide recommendations for actions to be carried out for the completion of the management plan, as well as other aspects to consider; a) Assess management and property protection mechanisms, including review of various planning tools thereof, and the analysis of decision-making and approval processes for new development projects, identifying potential areas of change and depending on the improvement of the management effectiveness, considering the potential integration of the tools, and ensuring the establishment of a clear management structure, optimizing participatory processes and institutional platforms to adequately enforce regulatory frameworks; b) Assess current and planned projects for the property to determine if the proposed project may have adverse effects on the attributes that express the Outstanding Universal Value of the property or their conditions of authenticity and integrity. Regarding the plans for the construction of the Quito Subway, the mission will assess the technical, environmental and social studies concerning the options of station location in the Historical Centre. Work will also be carried out jointly with national and local authorities and other stakeholders to accurately identify the location of the stations and the identification of alternatives in the design and execution of the project to ensure adequate protection of the property. Regarding the interventions proposed in the architectural unit of the Company of Jesus, the mission will provide guidance for the Development of Heritage Impact Assessments for the projects planned to ensure that the Outstanding Universal Value of the property is not threatened by the proposed projects. c) The mission will also assess on-going initiatives and projects for the whole recovery of the Historical Centre, in particular proposals involving demolition to enhance public spaces. The mission will consult with national and local authorities and other stakeholders on this issue and will provide recommendations on the actions to ensure the conservation and management of the property. Previous reports on the state of conservation of the World Heritage property reiterated the request to integrate the various tools implemented in safeguarding the cultural heritage of Quito, creating a comprehensive management system to ensure the governance of the Historic Centre in the long term, updating the national and municipal legal frameworks to conclusively define the responsibilities of management protocols and intervention processes. The State of Conservation report discussed by the World Heritage Committee in 2013 reiterates the permanence of the same shortcomings. In its conclusions, the report recognizes that the projects and interventions that the findings of this mission reveal, on the one hand, the interest of the authorities and of the private sector for the conservation of the property as well as on the proposals that may cause adverse impacts on the Outstanding Universal Value of the property, generated in absence of a comprehensive management plan. 5 This suggests that two of the proposed projects, located within the enclosed area, and in particular the proposed new public spaces may have a negative impact on the Outstanding Universal Value of the property. The report also notes the lack of a planning and management framework, and in the complex coordination that these instruments require to provide sufficient guarantees for the preservation of the property in the long-term. Factors affecting the property that are cited in the preceding reports are: a. Development pressures that can affect the authenticity of the property b. Weaknesses in the implementation process for decision-making concerning conservation c. Interventions in the Tower of the Company of Jesus Unit. To relate these factors, the Mission proposes the following observations and recommendations: Management Plan for the City of Quito The dispersion of management tools originates the overlapping of competencies and project development execution without the necessary control. It is necessary to complete the drafting of the Management Plan according to the criteria established [principles and evaluations], strengthening the attributes and values of the property– particularly those that sustain the Universal Outstanding Value - as guiding principles. Decision-making is shared and the organic frameworks of the institutions have been modified. Defining the enforcement authority of the Management Plan and bylaws governing the property, giving it a consistent hierarchy in the Institutional chart, should consolidate governance for the property. It is recommended to complete the updating process of the legislation and other management tools being developed at both national and municipal levels, and complete the approval processes for their implementation. It is recommended that once the development is completed and the revision of the Inventory is institutionalized that this serve as the framework for the enforcement of existing regulations related to the protection of the Historic Centre of Quito, both at national and municipal levels, integrating it into the urban planning scale and not only applicable to the property in isolation. The management tools that are updated and those to be generated for the property must start from the incorporation of the attributes that express its Outstanding Universal Value and for the preservation of authenticity and integrity conditions.

    In 2016 a large catch-up* in infrastructure investments is being confirmed by several Latin American countries, driven by the knowledge that economic growth relies heavily on quality infrastructure. The transport sector is going to firmly benefit from the expected increase in public and private funds. The continent being one of the most urbanized regions in the world, a large focus goes into urban rail projects: Mexico, Guatemala, Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, Brazil… are planning new projects for metro, light rail, high speed rail, monorail and passenger trains. One country is clearly taking the lead: Argentina. Besides boosting its investment climate and PPP laws, Argentina made public the ambitious 8-year 14.187 m USD investment in Buenos Aires` commuter network. Related key projects are the city`s RER and tunneling of the Sarmiento line. The Latin America Passenger Rail Expansion Summit will bring together local and international stakeholders, government officials, operators, developers, architects, consultants and equipment plus solution providers to discuss the current rail sector. *300.000 m USD is what Latam should be investing annually, versus the 150.000 m USD spent annually on infrastructure in the previous 20 years. http://latinamerica.railexpansionsummit.com OUTLOOK SOME OF THE TO BE INVITED DELEGATES Argentina foresees 14187 m USD ANPTrilhos INCOFER, Costa Rica Ministerio de Transporte y Comunicaciones, Peru 14187 investment in AFE Uruguay VLT Carioca Consortium Directorio de Transporte Público Metropolitano, Chile suburban network.

  • The Urban Rail Development Handbook
    DEVELOPMENT THE “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook offers both planners and political decision makers a comprehensive view of one of the largest, if not the largest, investment a city can undertake: an urban rail system. The handbook properly recognizes that urban rail is only one part of a hierarchically integrated transport system, and it provides practical guidance on how urban rail projects can be implemented and operated RAIL URBAN THE URBAN RAIL in a multimodal way that maximizes benefits far beyond mobility. The handbook is a must-read for any person involved in the planning and decision making for an urban rail line.” —Arturo Ardila-Gómez, Global Lead, Urban Mobility and Lead Transport Economist, World Bank DEVELOPMENT “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook tackles the social and technical challenges of planning, designing, financing, procuring, constructing, and operating rail projects in urban areas. It is a great complement HANDBOOK to more technical publications on rail technology, infrastructure, and project delivery. This handbook provides practical advice for delivering urban megaprojects, taking account of their social, institutional, and economic context.” —Martha Lawrence, Lead, Railway Community of Practice and Senior Railway Specialist, World Bank HANDBOOK “ Among the many options a city can consider to improve access to opportunities and mobility, urban rail stands out by its potential impact, as well as its high cost. Getting it right is a complex and multifaceted challenge that this handbook addresses beautifully through an in-depth and practical sharing of hard lessons learned in planning, implementing, and operating such urban rail lines, while ensuring their transformational role for urban development.” —Gerald Ollivier, Lead, Transit-Oriented Development Community of Practice, World Bank “ Public transport, as the backbone of mobility in cities, supports more inclusive communities, economic development, higher standards of living and health, and active lifestyles of inhabitants, while improving air quality and liveability.

  • Un Deseo Llamado Metro Buitron, Ricardo-1
    Análisis: Un deseo llamado metro? UN DESEO LLAMADO METRO? Crítica a la propuesta de transporte masivo para la ciudad de Quito Ricardo Buitrón C. Un Metro para Quito. Sistemas de transporte masivo en la ciudad. Obsolescencia programada del sistema. Más de lo mismo. La ciudad que queremos. Un Metro para Quito. La propuesta de construir un Metro en la ciudad de Quito pretende imponerse en el imaginario ciudadano, más que como una propuesta necesaria, debatida, consensuada, o como decía algun funcionario público “VA, PORQUE VA!”, a punta de campañas publicitarias, un bombardeo mediático que en vez de aclarar dudas genera desconfianza. Aparentes certezas aún antes de que los estudios a la medida hayan concluido, el deterioro y colapso del sistema de corredores exclusivos de transporte público, a pesar del discurso de lo “complementario” que resulta para el Metro es algo que indigna y que denigra a sus usuarios, convertidos en víctimas de decisiones, negligencias políticas y administrativas, se pretende resolver el problema de la movilidad en la ciudad haciendo más de lo mismo, lo que que ha sido demostrado en otras ciudades que no funciona, sin considerar que la movilidad es algo más que velocidad y que necesita ser entendida como parte de un concepto integral de ciudad. El actual alcalde de Quito Augusto Barrera, cuando aún era candidato, como promesa de campaña electoral lanzó de improviso la propuesta de construir un Metro para la ciudad, antes había expresado también que el mejoramiento de los sistemas BRT era una mejor opción para el transporte.[1] Por qué escogió construir el Metro en la ciudad, es la pregunta que nos hacemos luego de revisar varios estudios y análisis sobre los cambios en los sistemas de transporte en la ciudad y en la región en las últimas décadas.
