The "Vive Paracas Project" is an urban development that will be the first Sustainable City in Peru. It is located in the most important tourist destination on the southern coast of the country: PARACAS. With the collaboration of SUMAC's Sustainability Consulting services, Vive Paracas obtained SITES pre-certification. It also became the first project to obtain this certification in Peru and one of the first ten Latin American projects.
This sustainable city's projection contemplates residential and commercial lots of 90 to 120 square meters. These will be equipped with electricity, gas, water, and sewage. Additionally, Vive Paracas seeks to solve the housing problem for many Peruvian families and will mark a milestone in Peru's urban development and planning.
SITES is the most comprehensive certification system for creating sustainable urban development projects. It helps create resilient communities, benefits the environment, property owners, communities, and local and regional economies.
SITES certification is for development projects located on sites with or without buildings, from national parks to corporate campuses. Furthermore, SUMAC has a team of SITES AP accredited professionals to evaluate and carry out sustainable strategies to obtain this certification.
Vive Paracas was designed and developed under sustainability principles that generate advantages for the community such as:
It is a sustainable project that was designed and developed under a comprehensive set of criteria, considering the optimization of resources, preservation of ecological systems, and improvement of the community's quality of life.
Vive Paracas contemplates in its three stages a city that integrates all services a family needs. That is why it will be composed of commercial centers, educational centers, technological institutes, and sports areas, and a clubhouse. It will also have multiple common areas interconnected by a network of bicycle paths.
The city will have a water treatment system for irrigating green areas. It will also have parks with native and xerophytic plants, ecological corridors, and picnic spaces. These strategies seek to connect inhabitants with nature and increase ecosystem benefits.
