Estrategias de paisaje para la adaptación al cambio climático. Caso cartagena de indias

Abstract

ABSTRACT: In the future there will be no built heritage without the defense or revaluation of the natural heritage in the face of the environmental challenges of the 21st century. It is necessary to focus on the urban whole, transversely involving the natural variables and the binomial `built heritage-natural heritage '. This research proposes that Climate Change as a major scale problem, for the territorial planning scope, finds a response in the application of the principles and tools of Sustainable Urban Management, which forces us to understand the ecosystem functioning of its built and natural space (Urban Metabolism), and also to look for new ways of doing management. It is in this search for new ways of doing management that the Landscape appears as an object of study and innovative response. The landscape becomes an indicator of the first order to capture the effect of climate change, to imagine future scenarios and to design strategies of adaptability and to fight against this phenomenon. In summary, this research with an integrated approach contextualizes the principles of the European Landscape Convention in a Latin American reality such as Cartagena de Indias, through an approach exercise, that as a novelty, incorporates the articulation of landscape strategies as a climate defense mechanism for the city.
