Cinturón Ambiental Gualí

Abstract

The present grade project studies different strategies consolidated from urban patterns that allow to protect the water body of the Humedal guali and thus consolidate a green belt ; As the author indicates (Beltrán, 2005) the city of Bogotá and La Sabana that surrounds it past a physical and demographic growth accelerated since the beginning of the decade of 1950 that has directly determined the appearance of intensely complex economic, social and environmental phenomena, the cities have and continue to expand on soils of high natural potential, reporting annual growth rate, in the case of Bogotá up to 6,9% in 1964 and doubling its extension from 13.985 hectares in 1973 to 30.110 hectares in 1999, thus overflowing its own territory and promoting the precipitous growth of the surrounding municipalities, which in turn affect the natural environment as the body of water found there(Gualí Tres Esquinas wetland) and the opportunity for sustainability of the region. The Humedal Gualí-Tres Esquinas has a regional importance, because due to its location it constitutes the space to which the rains of the high zones arrive, which shows its function of increasing damping and of storage of water (Botía, Vasco y Sánchez, 2017, p 14.)
