Crono – hábitat tiempo para habitar. Plan de renovación urbana en el barrio La Alquería

Abstract

Bogota, the capital of Colombia, has experienced a significant increase in population over the last 30 years, from 4.9 million inhabitants in 1990 to 7.9 million in 2022. This has led to an expansion of urbanized areas and longer commuting times, which have been addressed by the construction of more roads or highways. However, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the limitations of this approach, as the concentration of jobs and services are in the center and north of the city, generating long and crowded commutes, increasing the risk of contagion, as well as the deficiency of green spaces. The crisis highlighted the need to evaluate the functionality of the localities, particularly in the locality of Kennedy, where deficiencies in the physical, socioeconomic, cultural, and ecological structures have limited the quality of life of the residents. Taking into account the problems, the urban development strategies are reevaluated, with the chrono-habitat as the main axis to address the challenges of displacement, in relation to time and population growth, generating more sustainable and equitable urbanizations that influence the quality of life of the inhabitants.
