Eco aldea, turismo de vanguardia y vivienda sostenible: estrategia de resiliencia en Cogua, Cundinamarca

Abstract

Cogua, a municipality located in the department of Cundinamarca, faces challenges related to diversifying local economic development, preserving the environment, and improving rural housing. The aim of this work is to develop an architectural urban design that incorporates principles related to the eco-village, sustainable housing, and ecological tourism. To achieve this objective, we characterize meso and micro scales at both static and dynamic levels, with the purpose of formulating urban and architectural strategies adapted to the territorial context. This approach aims to consolidate a proposal that promotes local economy and a sense of belonging through the exchange of technological knowledge. The methodology of this work is divided into 8 stages: documentary research, region characterization, formulation of development strategies, eco-village design, evaluation and validation with the community, implementation, and monitoring. A financial management plan was established, including options such as crowdfunding and private investors. This project stands out for its focus on innovation, sustainability, and local economic development. It offers a replicable model that can be adapted to different rural areas in Colombia, addressing similar challenges and contributing to the well-being of rural communities in the country.
