Problematic

Urban areas generally have high deficits of green areas, recreational areas and public spaces. According to recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO ) cities must ensure at least 10 to 15 m2 of green area per inhabitant, evenly distributed in relation to population density. In addition to the benefits of green spaces as elements mitigating environmental pollution and therefore agents in improving the health of the population, public spaces in general represent meeting points and structuring axes of the cities that allow the full affirmation citizenship and increasing the quality of life of the population.

Population growth and rapid and unplanned growth of the city has favored the growth of the deficit of adequate and sufficient for recreation and exercise of citizenship public spaces Lima's population. In this context, the Zonal Parks take on special importance, not only for its ability to offer green areas of great magnitude but by supply and demand massive public spaces for the development of family, sports and recreational activities accessible and adequate infrastructure, they offer to the population. The demand for these parks is backed by more than 9 million visitors each park receives each year.

In this line, the issues presented by the city of Lima is characterized by the following features:


  • Lack of green areas in Lima

    The lack of green areas has been estimated at 2,500 hectares. This situation reveals particularly dramatic in a city like Lima that according to the World Health Organization (WHO), has the highest air pollution in Latin America, surpassing by up to six times the standard declared healthy by that organization.

  • Insufficient resources for investment in Zonal Parks

    The Municipality of Lima manages eight zonal parks; However, on average these parks have enabled a little over 60% of its total area and in some cases like Huáscar park and park Ate, only reach 47% and 28% respectively habilitation. Revenue from entrance ticket concept is used in the operation and maintenance of each infrastructure more insufficient as a source of resources for investment in new parks zoning. In this sense, there are different properties assigned in administration in favor of Lima Park Service to implement zonal parks, where no investment gains are recorded.

On the other hand, exists in the city a high deficit of services and spaces suitable burial. According to the Department of Environmental Health in the area of ​​Lima and Callao over 30 cemeteries that operate under conditions of secrecy and illegality, without meeting the minimum requirements Nº 26298 Act are recorded, creating dangerous risks on health and citizen, including security.

Solution strategy

Faced with this problem, the project includes the execution of two components and the inclusion in the scheme contractual instruments to ensure compliance with its objectives, according to the following detail:

  • Design, financing, construction and equipping of a new zonal park developed under the scheme local club, in an area of ​​311,934 m2, in the district of Ancon, according to the parameters of intervention approved by the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima, by the private investor.
  • Design, construction, implementation and management of a churchyard in the form Ecological Park (category which requires that 70% of the area of ​​the cemetery corresponds to green or wooded areas), in the district of Ancon; by the private investor.
  • The transfer to the trust domain of the properties involved in the project implementation and the corresponding investment to be executed by the private in implementing the zonal park-cash amount. This transfer will ensure the transfer of ownership of infrastructure and equipment corresponding to zonal park for the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima; and the transfer of the property where the cemetery will run for the private investor.
  • The assumption of commitment to the conclusion of an agreement for the operation and maintenance of the treatment plant wastewater is part of Zonal Park project, in order of use of treated water for such infrastructure in the maintenance of green areas created by the project.
