Abstract

In Colombia, more than 7.7 million people have been displaced by violence and there are approximately 150,000 families on the outskirts of the city of Bogotá. Tocaimita is one of the cases located as an informal settlement, located within the Entre Nubes forest reserve and at risk of mass removal in the UPZ Gran Yomasa, in the town of Usme. Given the above, the objective of the research is to design a habitat project for the resettlement of the population of the Tocaimita neighborhood, implementing an adequate, sustainable, and collaborative habitat model to improve the economic, social, and cultural conditions of its inhabitants. This research is inductive, and is proposed from a qualitative and quantitative approach, determining the characteristics and conditions of the current population of the Tocaimita neighborhood, to establish what their economic and social habitat needs are. Based on the above, it concludes by developing a housing complex in the partial plan Villa Diana, implementing the three pillars of sustainability, which is adapted to the needs of the inhabitants to be resettled. That is developed as a critique of the current social housing developments in Bogotá.
