Resumen de Territorios híbridos metropolitanos: transformaciones urbanizadoras en el sector central de la sabana de bogotá
The work aims to analyze the urbanizing transformations of the territory in the central area of the Sabana de Bogotá (northern fringe of Bogotá: Chía, Cajicá, Sopó, and Tocancipá) through the study of the evolution of the metropolitan form, emphasizing on the observation and interpretation of its processes and materializations, in a period of time that goes from the mid-twentieth century to the present. This includes the elaboration of an observational structure and the interpretative reading of the current metropolitan reality of the region.
Departing from this objective, we seek to identify the essential elements and the processes of transformation of the Sabana de Bogotá landscape towards contemporary hybrid territories. The work focuses on the identification of metropolitan growth models and their materialization through certain urbanistic patterns, and on the distribution of activities in the territory. As such, the times of urbanization appearances, their location logics, their spatial configurations, and the uses and activities they contain will be observed. Likewise, the thesis seeks to identify spaces of opportunity at the metropolitan level as the place where changes in the spatial configuration of the metropolitan area happen, in order to allow us to propose future strategies to guide the management of metropolitan hybrid territories.
