Abstract

Este artículo reflexiona sobre caminar por la ciudad como una práctica saludable, educativa y estética, destacando el papel del paisaje en la experiencia corporal y emocional. Basado en una revisión documental y comparativa, que incluye referencias teóricas y experiencias en ciudades como Cienfuegos y Guayaquil, identifica espacios, políticas e iniciativas que promueven la caminabilidad. El caso de Guayaquil se presenta como un ejemplo inspirador debido a sus paisajes icónicos y sus estrategias educativas y urbanas. Los hallazgos permiten la integración de información dispersa y proporcionan herramientas útiles para fomentar hábitos urbanos saludables desde el diseño, la gestión pública y la educación.This article reflects on urban walking as a healthy, educational, and aesthetic practice, highlighting the role of the landscape in the bodily and emotional experience.
