Abstract

The following thesis “Green infrastructure design guide for the improvement of microclimates in three case studies of squares in the Historic Center of Cuenca" has as its main purpose the study of strategies to contribute to the amelioration of microclimates. The study analyses the incorporation of green spaces that are comfortable for both, users and the inhabitants of the Historic Center of Cuenca, demonstrating the process of amenity through climate simulations that show the improvement in situ. For the design process of the green infrastructure, historical and social antecedents of the squares were taken into account to adapt and revitalize a historical process towards the needs that new generations request in the Historic Center of Cuenca.
