Sistemas urbanos: carencia de la red verde urbana en Manta.

Abstract

Urban systems are a fundamental pillar in the development of the city, in recent years Manta has become one of the most progressive cities in Ecuador due to its economic growth, bringing with it numerous changes in its urban fabric due to the accelerated growth of the population, expanding and occupying natural areas that triggered the fragmentation of the ecosystem, the deficit of green areas and a poor quality of life that citizens have today due to the growth of buildings, highlighting the absence of strategies on the part of the municipal government. The present article aims to know and evaluate the lack of the green network in the city, corroborating the opportunities it presents and questioning it through authors such as Valdés, Foulkes, Maldonado, Márquez, among others. Analyzing in this way how the urban system has been affected by the malfunctioning of the urban planning model due to the dissociation of green areas, parks and natural areas. Therefore, through a qualitative and quantitative approach they were able to optimize the results obtained with the use of the tools and techniques detailed below that will allow to know the existing green areas that provide the city, the vacant areas and the filling of natural areas, in order to recognize the latent imbalance between development and conservation of the environment.
