Proyecto urbano paisajístico para la recuperación del humedal Gualí, vereda la florida del municipio de Funza Cundinamarca.

Abstract

Colombia is home to many important wetlands, including the Gualí wetland in the Sabana de Bogotá. However, a lack of understanding of their value has resulted in worrisome contamination. The rapid expansion of municipalities neighboring the Bogotá savanna has placed significant pressure on these ecosystems, and increasing urban sprawl and the establishment of industries have resulted in alarming levels of pollution that directly and indirectly affect these ecosystems. In response to these challenges, this research raises a question: What ecological design strategies can be implemented in an urban landscape project to safeguard the water source and mitigate the environmental contamination of the Gualí wetland, in other words, to offer variable solutions for the preservation and restoration of these ecosystems, considering their ecological and cultural importance. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to urgently address the contamination of wetlands, specifically the Gualí wetland, and to consider the implementation of sustainable urban projects to ensure the survival of the ecosystem and the well-being of human beings.
