Plan de revitalización del barrio San Martín en la localidad de Santafé, Bogotá D.C.

Abstract

The urban expansion in Bogota has been a complex process that today is still a case of study. Since this process started off in the center of Bogota, a problem of urban deterioration was generated in the fabric of the city, which affected the articulated development of the city and its sustainable development. Based on this, fragmentation caused a series of problems such as urban disarticulation in the San Martin neighborhood, turning it into a segregated, deteriorated, and insecure urban space. The objective of this research work is to determine how, through an urban revitalization plan, it is possible to have a better integration and utilization of the San Martin neighborhood zoning caused by urban deterioration. As such, a question follows: through urban renewal, can the disarticulation and index of public space caused by the fragmentation of the San Martin neighborhood be improved? Based on this, urban renewal is the way in which the neighborhood can be intervened in a holistic and articulated way to its urban context. The problem question is answered by referential analysis and specific studies of the neighborhood and its zonal context, which allow to determine urban intervention criteria that can be applied to the specific design. These are made up of diversification of zoning uses and an emphasis on public space as elements that will better articulate the neighborhood. Since previously mentioned, it is expected that this research work will serve to be able to think in an integral way as to how to revitalize in the urban areas.
