Urban conectivity

physical-spatial analysis of streets 79, 71, Vía 40 and water front of the Magdalena river in the Oasis sector, Barranquilla (Colombia)

Abstract

This research deals with the analysis of the urban space of the road axis of track 40 and the edge of the Magdalena River, in the El Oasis Sector, an important sector in the Barranquilla city, characterized by housing dissimilar economic activities, subjected to various urban processes, which today project in the city. An environment that moves in the uncertainty posed by the existence and appearance of connectivity infrastructure (physical-spatial context) with the new urban development in front of the Magdalena river, in which the public space has a determining role as a collective infrastructure. Which brings us to the reflection of the need for a comprehensive urban transformation proposal that revalues and connects this sector, through sustainable urban design, guaranteeing the proximity and action of citizens from a spatial, visual and emotional perspective in a urban context deteriorated, but in the process of regeneration.
