Proposal for Integration of Urban Planning with the Environment in Daule - Ecuador

Abstract:

Since the 1990s, the extension of urban land in Latin America and the Caribbean has increased considerably, in Ecuador it has doubled, due to a migration from the countryside to the city that generates disorderly settlements causing the use of fruitful soils; consumption of natural resources; environmental damage and alteration of ecosystems. The canton Daule is considered the fourth largest and most populous city in the province of Guayas with an uncontrolled growth of the urban area. Next, we develop the Territorial Economic Development methodology applied to one of the sectors of the Daule canton, where several articulated analyzes are carried out with the actors involved and landscape improvement plans conceived under a systemic approach are proposed. The objective of the work is to preserve the natural heritage of the city, improve the image of the landscape with inclusive designs oriented towards sustainable urban development.
