Análisis de la implementación del Plan Parcial No 9 -Alameda la Concordia - Lagos de Torca en la localidad de Suba, Bogotá D.C.

Abstract

The partial plan No 9 Alameda La Concordia - Lagos de Torca is located, between the towns of Suba and Usaquén, in the area of ​​influence of the main ecological structure, made up of the Torca, Guaymaral and La Conejera wetlands, as well as the hills Orientales and the Bogotá River basin. It limits to the west with the Northern Regional Forest Reserve – Thomas van der Hammen Reserve – RTVDH. The same one that, during the first decade of the 21st century, was declared in compliance with Resolutions 475 and 621 of 2000.

This reserve is considered key to the interconnection of protected areas, such as the Las Mercedes and Las Lechuzas forest and the system of district protected areas. It is a strategic ecosystem that plays a crucial role in the conservation of biodiversity in the Bogotá savannah. It offers ecosystem services, such as reducing the impact of flooding in urban areas, and contributes to food sovereignty and security thanks to the high load of organic carbon that makes up its agrological class II soils, according to the IGAC soil classification.

In recent years, multiple conflicts have arisen around its capacity and land uses given that, during 2018, the mayor Enrique Peñalosa signed the plans for the partial plan project, leaving firm the execution of the urban project whose legal precedent already rested in Decreto 088 of 2017 ratified by Decreto 632 of 2023.
