Presentation:
The objective is to develop a multidisciplinary project that is based on fragility and climate impacts, with infrastructures as drivers for the recovery of impacted and degraded sectors that arise from the failures of occupation and production in this territory.
The extension seeks to bring together researchers from partner universities who currently form an active network on the theme related to the city-port, both in public management, in the development of urban improvement and its population occupation and in the approach to relationships in the development of strategic plans, such as the private entities, their territorial organizations, functioning and impacts on the use of physical space and demand for infrastructure.
The project covers the north and south areas of the island of San Andrés, in partnership with the City of San Andrés, local agents in shaping and discussing improvements between city and water relations, providing solutions, both in the development of diagnostics , addressing problems and improving the quality of life of the local population and preparing matrices and studies on integrated regional development, based on local renewable resources and sustainable practices.
In this way, the following initial contributions to the structuring of the work can be considered: 1. Expansion of territorial analysis models, with the Method in Project Strategies (MEP)2 applied as support for the coastal zone of the island of San Andrés; 2. Identification of transformation processes occurring in port areas that make it possible to direct the recovery of the territory, the generation of jobs and new socio-cultural relations; 3. Multidisciplinary exchange between the different areas of knowledge and institutions that allow the expansion of the debate on the applicability of strategies as an inducer of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), enabling the application of strategic planning for new urbanization processes.
