dc.description.abstractBasketball infrastructure has the potential to address urban challenges by fostering social inclusion, sustainability, and community resilience. In Lima Centro, inadequate sports facilities, coupled with limited public spaces and social inequalities, have hindered the development of basketball as a tool for urban transformation. Currently, only 40% of Lima Basketball League teams are based in this area, reflecting disparities in resource distribution and accessibility. This research explores how basketball infrastructure can foster sustainable urban environments and promote social inclusion. A mixed-methods approach was applied, incorporating case studies of successful initiatives in Latin America, a survey of Lima Centro residents and basketball players to assess needs and perceptions and a SWOT analysis to evaluate the internal and external factors influencing basketball infrastructure development. The analysis revealed that well-designed basketball facilities can enhance social cohesion, stimulate local economies, and reduce environmental impact. Key factors include integrating community participation and adopting sustainable construction practices. These findings suggest that basketball courts, beyond serving as recreational spaces, can function as catalysts for broader urban revitalization. By aligning sports infrastructure development with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 10 and 11, this research provides actionable insights for urban planners and policymakers seeking to address social and environmental challenges in densely populated urban areas like Lima Centro. Findings highlight that basketball courts, when integrated with sustainable urban planning principles, can enhance social cohesion, promote physical activity, and stimulate local economies. This research highlights the importance of accessible, inclusive, and environmentally responsible sports infrastructure as a catalyst of sustainable urban development in Lima Centro.en_US
