(a) Urban Retreat  
An integral design of an urban retreat is proposed along the edge of the terrain. This includes three-dimensional representations of the promenade with climate-adapted trees, the plaza located on the transition bridge, the park called \"Oval of the Liberators\", the plaza serving as the entrance to the green corridor, and the area designated for sports activities. In Figure 16, the axonometry of the Entrance Plaza to the Green Corridor (Figure 16a) can be observed, which covers a total area of 5744 m\({}^{2}\), with 1087 m\({}^{2}\) reserved for green areas. In this visual representation, the strategic arrangement of elements such as planners with trees is evident, which not only adds aesthetic value but also provides shade to the users of Cuzzo. The plaza serves not only as the main access to the green corridor and the convention center but also as a node of activities, providing opportunities for community interaction, highlighting innovation through the inclusion of photovoltaic tiles, harmoniously integrating sustainability by harnessing solar energy. Additionally, the axonometry of the \"Oval of the Liberators\" park (Figure 16b) is observed, which covers a total area of 1910 m\({}^{2}\), with 350 m\({}^{2}\) reserved for green areas and 255 m\({}^{2}\) for the water fountain, which is the main element of this park. The combination of tile colors along with the strategic location of this park makes it a focal point that invites people to enter the green corridor, as it is located at the intersection of four important avenues of the city, such as the expressway, Av. Velasco Astete, Av. 28 de Julio, and Av. Qosco. The sports park (Figure 16c) is located in the sports and commercial area, with a total area of 1955 m\({}^{2}\) and green areas covering 432 m\({}^{2}\). The main function of this park is to provide two areas with outdoor exercise machines, a space for meditation and yoga activities, and an exclusive area for calisthenics. Figure 15: Urban design strategies. Finally, the tree-lined promenade (Figure 16d) and the transition bridge plaza (Figure 16e) are interconnected, as this transition plaza represents the pedestrian transfer from the wetland area to the botanical garden area, and this is where it integrates into the tree-lined promenade. The promenade runs along the entire botanical garden, facing the Huatanay River, covering an area of 35,506.69 m\({}^{2}\) with a green area of 29,506.69 m\({}^{2}\). The spaces that add significant value to this tree-lined promenade include four sports courts, ten viewpoints facing the Huatanay River, eight plazas for social interaction, and two cultural amphitheaters. On the other hand, the transition bridge plaza covers an area of 4800 m\({}^{2}\), with a green area of 400 m\({}^{2}\). This plaza provides spaces for contemplating the first glimpse of the Huatanay River and how it integrates into the green corridor through the creation of an artificial wetland, featuring a viewpoint, a cultural esplanade, and three water fountains. In Figure 17, the promenade of the dance and cultural choreography center can be observed, which is also part of the extensive urban retreat of the green corridor. It covers an area of 4100 m\({}^{2}\) with 600 m\({}^{2}\) of green areas. The spaces within this promenade include four amphitheaters for choreography exhibitions and artistic practices, two parks that include urban furniture and irrigation channels for the plants on the promenade, and ten seats with planters that provide shade to the users of Cuzco. the generation of a favorable microclimate, significantly impacting the thermal regulation of the interior environment of the greenhouses [49]. Additionally, space is allocated for nurseries (771 m\({}^{2}\)), three areas for urban gardens (452 m\({}^{2}\) each), and three areas for biogas production (659 m\({}^{2}\) each), using guinea pig excrement as raw material.
