URBARURAL Pieza urbana de transición del medio urbano y rural en Usme

Abstract

The growth of Latin American cities has coincided with the expansion of urbanization on the edges of the city and they have developed in a predominant line that is informal occupation and the disarticulation between urban and rural Bogotá D.C. does not escape this condition, the southern edge of Usme has generated settlement problems in the peripheries, which generates deficiencies in the quality of urban and rural life as it develops in a diffuse space, with territorial conflicts and social fragmentation.

The rural land of Usme is characterized by having land intended for agriculture, which makes this sector maintain a peasant identity by providing the city with food that contributes to its economy, where expansion has developed problems in the territory.

This project develops urban planning and design strategies by implementing the method of urban transects and diagnosis by landscape units, in such a way that a horizon and diagrams are projected allowing the transition and articulation of the urban edge and rural areas, implementing constructions with environments and elements that develop logical environments to the territory.

As a result, it was possible to project how, through urban transects, dynamics and social fabrics can be created in the territory, generating a transition in the landscape, this arises from the Meso-Usme town scale to reaching an urban piece on the edge of the city , where proposals are developed to improve urban expansion, a result that is not only important for Usme since the city continues in a growth process every day and this model can be adapted as a guide to occupy the expansion edges that are characterized by have a disarticulation between the urban and the rural.
