Territorio en transición: análisis urbano para fortalecer la gestión del territorio y el valor del suelo en el sector de San José, municipio de Villa de San Diego Ubaté (Cundinamarca).

Abstract

Throughout it is history, the municipality of Ubate has grown from it is origins as Muisca territory to become a livestock and agricultural hub, undergoing a transition that has made it a highly productive and economically developed area based on livestock and dairy production. However, all this development is reflected in its main economic activity, which ranks it as one of the municipalities with the highest livestock and dairy production nationwide. It also preserves a large heritage inventory that has consolidated the urban center as a territory that invites tourism and gastronomy, which is the hallmark of Ubaté. Nevertheless, this development has meant that population consolidation and growth have not been taken into account, as the growth of the municipality in its urban area has resulted in its periphery or border areas between rural and urban areas being affected by squatter settlements where outsiders and people from the municipality itself have settled without any other option. This is the result of unplanned growth and the lack of a compact city model that would allow for better structuring of the territory, causing significant damage, as disorderly construction has had the most serious consequences on public space and territorialization. Throughout history, public space has allowed people to interact, enjoy the landscape, and appropriate the territory. This is where this degree project begins, in the search for an analysis of the San Jose Ubate sector, a place that has grown and densified its urban space but has not generated cohesion, identity, and enjoyment of the place. Building a city requires proposals that bring people together, as this project seeks to identify the dynamics of the sector, review the physical and regulatory conditions of the territory, and recognize the reasons for the disarticulation of the sector, housing, and its facilities. The results of this analysis will allow government entities to make decisions that dignify places through urban policies, plans, and active proposals that are carried out, thus creating a dignified, compact, and consolidated Ubate, always based on the policies of the land use plan, which, when articulated, will enhance the San Jose sector and create an urban fabric in the municipality of Ubate.
