Vegueta-Triana: el núcleo urbano fundacional de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria y su contexto didáctico / Vegueta-Triana: the foundational urban centre of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and its didactic context

Abstract

The integration of the historic centres and foundational centres in the cities of the Canary Islands in the process of implementing the Sustainable Development Goals, the Spanish Urban Agenda and the European Territorial Strategy for cities, requires a reinforcement in the interpretation of their characteristics linked to the action of geography and territorial planning, as well as the involvement of the Didactics of Social Sciences in its multiple facets of interaction with the population. Through the case of Vegueta-Triana, the objective is to analyse the historical and territorial context as a reference in the perception of the historic city, in the spatial planning and in the didactics of its cultural heritage and urban condition. The proposed methodology relates the factors that characterise its historical evolution and the current reality of the urban complex through the analysis of historical cartography, official planning and the geographic information systems. The result allows us to obtain a dossier of values and challenges for this space with the capacity to drive new research from multiple objectives and didactic projects of the regulated and non-regulated system that facilitate the involvement of the population in its sustainable and integrated development.
