Summary/Abstract: This investigation aims to incorporate new visions and tools that investigate the public green space as a fundamental element that structures urban life and shape our cities. In this sense, the city of La Plata presents an imbalance between its planned foundational quarter and the periphery. This is reflected by the periferic landscape that loses the main characteristics of the urban landscape of La Plata, fundamentally recognized by its avenues and green spaces every six blocks. This article proposes guidelines and criteria to reconfigure the landscape through a green network in order to improve the quality of the urban environment.
