Re-tracing urban landscape lines

A multidimensional system of lines and points, rooted in the Qhapaq Ñan—Peru's Inca Andean Road System—reveals a primeval pattern that shapes urban landscapes. This study employs an exploratory and descriptive approach to uncover hidden ecological and archaeological vestiges, demonstrating how these layers inform city morphology. By re-tracing these lines, researchers expose the intricate interplay between natural and urban environments, offering new alternatives for integrating heritage into modern landscapes. The findings underscore the importance of preserving and interpreting these ancient systems to guide sustainable urban development.
