El agua como clave del ecodesarrollo urbano: paisaje, patrimonio, territorio y sociedad

Abstract

Currently, more than fifty percent of the world's population lives in cities, configured as a meeting place for a modern multiculturalism, innovative and concerned with its environment, which does not accept to continue with the urban planning and growth of the last decades. This is how the current social movements emerge that call for a new urban and landscape planning where natural resources are taken into account, changing the classic paradigm of domination for another that is eco-sustainable. Consequently, through an eminently legal methodology, it is intended to expose the necessary relationship between landscape development and urban growth, through the immaterial value that water possesses in the creation of quality social environments. In view of the results, the scarce value of hydrological spaces as configurators of the environment and their null inclusion as elements of urban planning and quality of life in the city is evident
