The Masterplan La Paz is a comprehensive urban regeneration proposa, its aim is to revitalize the urban environment and enhance the quality of life for its residents through the transformation of an area known as El Cajoncito, a key site in the city’s water infrastructure. This dry riverbed functions as a stormwater runoff channel during the rainy season.

The project reimagines this previously neglected space as green infrastructure that connects more affluent areas with neighborhoods facing greater social and spatial challenges. Through the creation of a large public park, the masterplan not only protects the city from flooding but also links La Paz’s iconic malecón with its most vulnerable urban fabric.

The proposal includes the creation of a Pedestrian and Cycleway, a Bridge, and a Sports Complex, key interventions designed to enhance connectivity and drive urban development.

The area currently faces severe accessibility challenges due to the dry riverbed of El Cajoncito, which divides two neighborhoods along an approximate stretch of eight kilometers. The problem is exacerbated during the rainy season when the river floods, making crossings even more difficult. Today, residents are forced to walk or drive between four and eight kilometers to bypass it, despite the fact that the actual distance between points is just 200 meters. In many cases, crossing becomes impossible.

To address this issue, the Masterplan includes a Bridge that will not only improve connectivity but significantly reduce travel times. Its design incorporates drainage systems to prevent flooding and ensures structural stability during heavy rains and seismic events.

The Pedestrian and Cycleway stretches from the marina to the Sports Complex and promotes sustainable mobility by accommodating pedestrians and cyclists. Beyond enhancing connectivity, it acts as a natural flood barrier and includes shaded bus stops for public transit users, along with rest areas.

The Masterplan also envisions new recreational and athletic facilities. The Sports Complex includes fields for baseball, soccer, tennis, and basketball, as well as spaces for cultural activities such as dance and music classes, and a library.

To date, 40% of the Masterplan has been completed, with the Pedestrian and Cycleway completed along half of its planned project, and the Sports Complex fully delivered.
