Tierra Guali: Articulacion del tejido urbano y regeneracion del tejido ambiental del municipio de Mosquera

Abstract

The western corridor has gained enormous importance for Bogotá, Mosquera and other neighboring municipalities. It has also experienced rapid population growth, a consequence of regulatory changes and tax exemptions that attract many companies outside of Bogotá. A paradigmatic example of this phenomenon is the municipality of Mosquera, which with figures close to 40%, in the period between 2015 and 2022 (DANE, 2022), is experiencing a real estate boom that fragments the urban fabric and maintains a sector of its population lacking public spaces and quality infrastructure despite the economic benefits, a direct consequence of a late and insufficient implementation of land use plans. This phenomenon is especially accentuated in the sector of the Güalí-Tres Esquinas wetland, a threatened natural area, but which has the potential to articulate the old part of the municipality with the area of ​​urban expansion (two spaces divided by a railway line that has been in disuse for decades and the dynamics of a real estate market that develops without urban considerations), articulate the urban fabric and regenerate the environmental fabric, promoting the conservation of the wetland, stimulating densification and the mix of uses and integration with key projects of sustainable mobility and efficient as Regiotram de Occidente, which also lays the foundations of a true multimodal system for the Sabana de Bogotá.
