Abstract

This research deals with the study of urban densification as an alternative and efficient solution to the problems generated by the expansive growth of the city of Loja. For this, the densification is analyzed, not only from the mathematical point of view of the relation hab / ha, but also the study of urban aspects such as: public space, intensification of uses, diversity and mixticity, environmental systems, and Their relationship with citizens. It develops the analysis and diagnosis of the urban characteristics of the IV Centenario sector, which later defines it as a consolidated area. The factor of proximity to the administrative center of the city, and with most of the facilities and infrastructures of: health, education, commerce, transport, makes this area an appropriate place to develop a densification project. Finally, densification strategies are established to meet the different urban complexities of the study sector, in order to form a compact and sustainable city scheme
