Volver al río: estrategias de planificación urbana para barrios ribereños en Honda, Tolima

Abstract

The urban area of Honda, Tolima presents a fragmented urban growth that has generated that the banks of the Magdalena and Gualí rivers are occupied by neighborhoods such as La Magdalena and Av. De los Estudiantes, inhabited by fishing families. These neighborhoods, despite being surrounded by main roads, are truncated rivers-neighborhoods-municipality relationships, due to their limited accessibility and mobility. In addition to the fact that they are perceived as sources of insecurity, preventing locals and tourists from visiting the rivers. In relation to the above, returning to the river is a position on the importance of urban cultural and natural relations that occur due to the rivers and riverside communities of the municipality of Honda, from this, through strategic planning, aims to formulate strategies, guidelines and actions, to establish connections and functional dynamics between rivers, neighborhoods and the municipality, recovering depressed areas and areas of environmental protection, turning them into a model of urban intervention that is projected on the banks of rivers Magdalena and Gualí.
