Ecología Activa, transformación urbana en el municipio de San José del Guaviare: proyecto urbano integral (PUI) con énfasis en el desarrollo sostenible.

Abstract

Colombia has been characterized by managing a centralized commercial development, which starts from a main axis that goes from the main ports of the Caribbean coast, extending through the central mountain range to the south west of the country, thus the bulk of investment in infrastructure and spatial planning has been concentrated in these regions, leaving the cities and municipalities furthest from this commercial axis with a competitive deficit, resulting in a series of problems that can be covered in various key sectors, where social structures stand out, (such as abandonment by the state, drug trafficking, violence and internal armed conflicts), which trigger a multitude of local problems, including poverty, health deficit and lack of schooling. This in the long term has widened the inequality of opportunities with respect to the main urban centers; for this reason it is necessary to rethink the regional economic model from the planning of the territory. To achieve this, we intend to carry out a formal and syntactic analysis of the country to determine an economic, social, political and environmental route, which allows us to understand the relations between the different regions and through the implementation of the Global City theory, City Region and economies of scale, propose a replicable methodology to detect possible relations of convenience between economies at supra-regional, regional, municipal and local level, drawing up a model of spatial operation and occupation of the territory in the peripheral areas of the country that shapes multiscale regional development policies, taking into account the factors of relation of convenience mentioned above (political, economic, social and ecological), resulting in a comprehensive urban plan focused on a specific municipality that functions as an axis of regional integration and allows the connection of the region with the economic and functional structure of the country, thus helping to promote and boost the economy and development of each region. The project in question is presented under an analysis and a reading in which it is determined as the first point to intervene the municipality of San José del Guaviare in the department of Guaviare, which presents the aforementioned problems and articulates as a potential node for the economic dynamics of the south-eastern region of the country, in this way it is proposed to realize an integral urban plan focused on three lines of action (competitiveness, sustainability and habitability) that promotes a sustainable city model that enhances the development of the region and connects it with the central area of the country.
