Análisis de la Gestión del Territorio en la Urbanización Alameda del Rio de la Ciudad de Barranquilla Basado en los 5 Principios de Un Barrio Sostenible Establecidos por la Onu-Habitat

Abstract

This research project analyzes land management in the Alameda del Río urbanization, located in the city of Barranquilla, based on the five principles of a sustainable neighborhood defined by UN-Habitat. The main objective was to evaluate whether the urban development implemented through the Partial Plan "El Volador" complies with these principles, considering the planned proposals, the territorial reality, and residents' perceptions. A qualitative, descriptive, and analytical methodology was applied, integrating documentary analysis, spatial observation, and a survey of local residents. The results were structured into thematic evaluation sheets by principle, revealing progress in housing density and socio-economic diversity, but also showing limitations in mobility, service provision, public space quality, and universal accessibility. A comparative analysis with an international urban model, Vauban neighborhood in Freiburg, Germany, helped contextualize the findings and assess the scope of the local experience against international standards. In conclusion, Alameda del Río partially meets the principles of sustainable urban development, with a functional planning structure but notable challenges in its territorial implementation.
