In concordance with the situations that have affected the development and the downfall of the historic center, like it is the massive densification phenomenon of the downtown in Bogota, and also in accordance with law 388 of 1997, the current TEP and the “Plan Centro” which mentions that ‘the processes of change in the use of the soil must be addressed and procure its rational use with its social and ecological function’. In this paper it is proposed to analyze the components that determines the urban landscape of the Santa Fe’s neighborhood, looking at it as a composition defined by some anthropologic, natural and physical elements that are interrelated. Likewise, the landscape which is especially linked with human action must be a target of study, since its structure and dynamics are what determine the way people live their lives. That’s why through the study of its mechanism in terms of a physic-human relation the basic knowledge can be acquired, which allows to propose a reliable urban intervention about its social and ecological function. Therefore, its planned a renovation of the urban landscape through an integration of each of its components in a decayed sector which is Santa Fe’s neighborhood, it will achieve a transformation in the quality of life of each one of its inhabitants and the place’s perception, the motivation is to positively influence the improvement of the living conditions of the population.
