Abstract

Among other aspects of their impact upon the values and challenges associated with sustainable, integrated development, the cultural landscapes of a city require continuous analysis of their characteristics and dynamics. Taking as an example Ciudad Jardín (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria), this article identifies the structure of such spaces, assesses its chronological processes, and highlights some challenges regarding its conservation and urban integration. The article provides a reference structure for identifying the presence of a cultural landscape within the city, and emphasizes the difficulties in understanding its characteristics, as this requires different techniques of civic education, as well as the appreciation of value in the heritage they possess.
