Modelo de crecimiento urbano de la parroquia La Aurora, 2023. Intensidad edificatoria y complejidad urbana.

Abstract

This research focuses on the Satélite La Aurora parish and has the general objective of evaluating the existing urban growth model in the parish in the year 2023, based on the variables related to building intensity and urban complexity. The research has an analytical-explanatory scope and it is intended that the results obtained serve as input for the formulation of future urban plans. For data collection and spatial analysis, on-site surveys and review of satellite images were used. In this study area, urban growth is evident, generated mainly by its proximity to Guayaquil and La Puntilla (Samborondón), where the incursion of real estate companies has privileged the construction of gated communities, resulting in fragmented urban planning. As a result of the research, a parish was obtained with a development at odds with the sustainable city model as problems of proximity, lack of equipment and building discontinuity were recorded.
