Estrategias de intervención urbana en la periferia de la ciudad de Loja. Caso de estudio borde occidental: Carigán

Abstract

Abstract:Latin America has experienced very important urban transformations since the second half of the 20th century, generating changes in the territory whose impacts are evident in the city, which makes planning a real challenge for sustainable development. This research proposes a study on the urban edge, considering it as a territorial category, with specific characteristics different from other consolidated areas. Starting from this premise, the diagnosis is developed, as well as analogous reference cases related to growth corridors that are coherent to the study area, since, based on the observation and prior knowledge of the analysis sector, it presents particular characteristics with potential potential of consolidation / growth. In addition, it will allow to comprehensively understand how relationships and connectors that are generated between the urban and the rural are developed. In a systematic way, we proceed to propose strategies that allow an adequate intervention and integration between the different scales and surrounding sectors, and it also appears as a requirement for the effective sustainable planning of the;Carigán; sector.
