This is the maximum representation of the step towards forming socio -economic development, creator of a true national idiosyncrasy expressed through its unique tangible and intangible heritage. Criterion ii : The influence of the Baroque school of Quito Escuela Quitena was recognized in the cultural domain, especially art — architecture, sculpture and painting — in all the cities of the Audencia , and even in those of the neighbouring Audencia.
Criterion iv : Quito forms a harmonious sui generis where the actions of man and nature come together, to create a unique and transcendental work of its kind. The great majority of attributes upon which the Outstanding Universal Value of the City of Quito is based are present and intact. The Historic Centre of Quito has conserved its original configuration, new constructions being built outside of the colonial centre. Indeed, based on the first plan of Quito designed in by Dionisio Alcedo y Herrera, one notes that the original plan of the streets, the blocks of houses and squares — with a few rare exceptions — is the same can be seen today.
Despite numerous earthquakes that have affected it over the course of history, the city conserves the least modified historic centre of all Latin America because of the concerted action of the Municipal authorities of the Metropolitan District of Quito and the Ecuadorean government. In general, the urban plan and its integration into the landscape may be considered as entirely authentic because the original generic form has remained unaltered and the Plaza Mayor Main Square has developed organically with very few changes.
The preservation of traditional trades, the contributions of craftsmen holders of ancient know-how and the use of local materials stone, lime, mud and wood make it possible to maintain the significant characteristics of the different architectonic components and their decorative elements.
With regard to the legal domain, aspects relating to the protection and safeguarding of cultural heritage are considered in the Constitution of the State, in the Law and Regulations for Cultural Heritage, in the Code of Territorial Organization, Autonomy and Decentralisation COTAD and in the Law on Culture which is awaiting approval.
The National Institute for Cultural Heritage INPC delegates to local governments competences such as the protection and safeguarding of cultural heritage, while reserving the right of control. The management tools available to the Municipality of the Metropolitan District of Quito are the Territorial Urban Development Plan, the special plan for the Historic Centre of Quito and annual operational plans.
These management tools are planned by the Territorial and Housing Secretariat, while their implementation is the responsibility of the Metropolitan Municipality through the Secretariat of Culture of the Municipality, the Metropolitan Institute of Culture formerly the Safeguarding Fund for Cultural Heritage , the Administration Zone Centre, the Municipal Development Enterprise and the Commission for Historic Zones, which is the legislator body for the Historic Centre of Quito.
The buffer zone of the Historic Centre as well as its monumental zone share the same legislation that applies to both the conservation and management of the property. These two zones are clearly marked and are covered by specific protection measures.
The measures developed to counterbalance the threats and risks affecting the site earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, parking and traffic problems in the historic zone, etc. The Environmental Drainage Programme aims to mitigate land slides and control erosion caused by rainwater, especially during the winter. The revision and application of the collector system for the historic centre has diminished the risks caused by an eruption of the Pichincha Volcano and the overflowing of existing water sources.
The boundary of permitted construction zones and the control of illegal constructions on the slopes of Pichincha Volcano aim to lessen the risks for the historic centre and its population. The revision of the transport system and traffic in the Metropolitan District of Quito has led to the introduction of measures to lessen the negative impacts on the historic centre: restriction of the number of public transport lines; installation of a programme of pedestrian streets and bicycle corridors, creation of parking areas in strategic parts of the historic centre.
The importance of measures such as the control of use and activities within the historic centre, the revitalization of public areas that, in , greatly contributed to the conservation of the site and the improvement of the quality of life of its inhabitants, must also be emphasized.
