Plataforma logística intermodal para el transporte mercantil

Abstract

In few municipalities throughout the country, we find that the national means of transport converge (Land, rail, sea and air), one of these is the municipality of Flandes-Tolima, which has a strategic location for the effective distribution of products to the different regions of Colombia. In this area are the most important roads in the country such as the fourth-generation highways (4G), the old railroad that connects with the city of Bogotá, the Santiago Vila airport and the Magdalena River. However, despite having the different means of transport, Flanders does not have an element in which these are articulated, due to this for this degree project the design of an intermodal platform is proposed which is articulated to a proposal to regional, municipal and local scale, achieving an ideal urban design for its operation, where, based on the theory of urban catalysis, it will generate an impact by changing the perspective or collective imagination of the usual logistics platforms, this being a place where Different activities can be generated thanks to the mix of uses and its design, which allows commercial exchange between the different means of transport while respecting environmental, social and economic conditions, thus promoting sustainable urban development.
