Abstract

Abstract: In the present project, a contribution to the Malacatos parish research and its relationship with nature is proposed, considering that it is in a geographical and hydrographic position of great value, determining its growth by a natural structure both by the homonymous river that as well as its geomorphology. Apparently this peculiarity has allowed the parish to develop in a gradual and orderly manner, however, in the bibliographic review it has been identified that at the end of the last century Malacatos has developed an important progression in aspects: economic, cultural, tourist and population. that at the same time are generating an increase in the network of human settlements. Consequently, the green system design for Malacatos becomes a proposal that marks a milestone in the way of planning its urban development, and in understanding it from nature as a structuring element. The parish development arises from a network of public spaces, green areas, conservation and ecological protection areas, areas of urban agriculture, rivers and streams; that are integrated into the urban fabric prioritizing nature, water and biodiversity. Malacatos parish is at an opportunity moment to incorporate nature into its sustainable urban development; as long as they manage to involve different actors such as the local government, groups and citizens in the development.
