SOCIALDIMENSIÓN

Migration from the countryside to city

Justification

The interest of this project relies in the use of the environmental challenges to build resilience in the neighborhood of Bosa in Bogota. Indeed, the region suffered from regular flooding from the river Tunjuelo due to the lack of compliance to the urban regulations. Sites vulnerable to floods were identified and local leaders brought together to initiate urban redesign.

Resilience allowed the region to find solutions that are adapted to the environment and minimize flood risk, thus maintaining structural functions of the locality. This also increased the habitability of the different sectors surrounding the Tunjuelo River and secure future sustainability.

Intervention Criteria -Critères d'intervention

Parks with specific areas to accommodate for the flooding by using furniture made of recycled materials.

Urban gardens on terraces, balconies or available spaces.

Ecological pathway next to the Tunjuelo river with permeable zones and environmental control.

Small and medium size vehicules road with bordering environmental control.
