Urban Condition: Located on the highest slopes of Pamplona Alta, characterized by low consolidation and high structural vulnerability.
Housing Typologies: Predominantly Typologies C and D (with emerging transitions from C to B), utilizing temporary materials and emergency modules.
Services & Infrastructure: Limited formal utility access. Families rely on elevated water tanks, community-built infrastructure, and unpaved, high-risk access roads.
Adaptation Logic: Active progressive transformations, including the structural expansion of emergency modules. The active presence of TECHO provides strong institutional support, turning this sector into a strategic pilot site for participatory design.
5 de Mayo / Las Lomas
Urban Condition: Situated on the middle and upper slopes , established approximately 40 years ago and demonstrating intermediate urban consolidation.
Housing Typologies: A mix of Typologies A, B, and C undergoing active vertical expansion. Structures combine temporary and permanent construction materials.
Services & Infrastructure: Majority coverage of basic water, electricity, and drainage. However, severe structural risk persists due to steep slope foundations.
Adaptation Logic: Clear community-led passive solutions, including micro-gardens, shaded areas, and incremental retrofits. This stage of consolidation allows for preventive climate interventions (e.g., improved ventilation, thermal comfort, rainwater collection) before full consolidation prevents structural modification.
