Articulación urbana sector noroccidental de Tunja Parque Ricaurte

Abstract

As a result of urban growth, the city of Tunja presents spaces that were not adequately incorporated into the city, some are associated with the natural environment and sectors with different developments. Today, the northwestern area of ​​Tunja structured by the north avenue shows sectors linked by gullies and areas with different infrastructures and social and economic imbalances. The urbanization process that the country has presented in recent decades has unleashed important urban environmental problems with landslides and overflowing of water flows at the local, regional and national levels. The city of Tunja is not immune to these environmental conflicts, a product of the inadequate intervention in the ecosystems of the territory. The anthropic fills in gullies have increased the urbanization capacity and in turn the serious consequences in winter times, which seriously affects the houses built on them. In this way, the Ricaurte gully was determined as the indicated place to carry out this project due to the location, size, conformation and subsistence of the ditch in this sector of the city. Due to its characteristics and the sectors that surround it, this space in the city is an appropriate place to propose an intervention and urban restructuring that articulates the northwestern sector through the environmental recovery of the Ricaurte gully with public spaces, equipment and architectural elements.
