Urban and Real Estate Development of the Central University of Venezuela’s Rental Zone

The Central University of Venezuela (UCV), founded in 1721, has significantly influenced the urban development of Caracas. Its campus, the Caracas University City (CUC), constructed in the 1940s, played a pivotal role in shaping the city's structure and morphology. This development led to the real estate appreciation of the Plaza Venezuela-Sabana Grande sector during the 1950s and 1960s. The study examines how the UCV's growth contributed to the urban expansion and economic value of this area, providing insights into the interplay between educational institutions and urban development.
