Tratamiento de zonas inundables del casco urbano : recuperación de borde del Río Moniquirá como generador de espacio público

Abstract

River Moniquirá (Boyacá) is a tributary articulator and sustainer of natural life in the municipality, but the lack of land use planning instruments has allowed excessive growth of the municipality, especially towards the edges of the river. With respect to homes near the river, they are slums suffering a high degree of flooding due to the constant increasing it. These should be relocated and form a housing group, seeking the safety of existing families. Also, as a consequence of the lack of land use regulations, the complementary uses of housing have been relegated, generating mainly the scarcity and lack of public spaces, recreation areas and green areas. Due to the above, a treatment is proposed on the edge of the Moniquirá River in order to recover and generate a greater percentage of public space through soft areas, hard areas, formal trade sectors that encourage tourism and spaces for participation, Likewise, it proposes the relocation of flood-threatened housing to another sector. Therefore, the general objective of this research is to project a recovery system for the edge of the Moniquirá river, generating public space by means of the treatment of the urban areas.
