“…The municipality of Chía is located in the northern Bogotá metropolitan region. Low-density and discontinuous suburban growth going beyond residences and also including educational infrastructure and offices is a pattern of the urban growth of the city [13,14]. A major impact on the city's rural areas is unfolding, especially along the Bogotá and Frío rivers, which is leading to a fragmentation of green infrastructure and a reduction in its value and functionality for the inhabitants.…”

From the planning perspective, green infrastructure emerges as an effective strategy to address the effects of climate change and its negative impacts on urban growth. Consequently, the concept of green infrastructure represents a paradigm shift in the way in which green open space is conceived from the urban growth perspective. The concept of green infrastructure has featured prominently in urban planning since the late twentieth century. Thus, this study aims, firstly, to determine the functionality of green infrastructure in terms of population density; and secondly, to evaluate the effects of urban expansion plans on sustainable development of green infrastructure. The research applied as methods multispectral satellite imagery information to obtaining a Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and space syntax related with urban morphology. As main conclusion, in the municipality, there is a disconnection and disarticulation between public spaces and green areas, with the main uses, activities and facilities, as well as a road infrastructure having no connectivity. Furthermore, there is no evidence of biomass corridors that connect the space between the rivers, and the green areas identified through the NDVI analysis result more commonly to be none build areas, or low density edifications and rarely parks or natural corridors where biomass is meant to be preserved.

“…The case study is located between the northern limit of the city of Bogotá and the municipalities of Chía and Cota that are part of the Sabana Centro region. This area is characterized by a municipal border location and spatial pressure due to its proximity to the metropolis (Jimenez Aguilar & Thoene, 2021). Due to this spatial context, this case study allows for a comparison with other metropolitan cities, their interrelationships, and spatial dynamics.…”

Identifying the Social Urban Spatial Structure of Vulnerability: Towards Climate Change Equity in Bogotá

The constant modification of land use, economic instability, environmental factors, and social behaviour changes among the inhabitants of big cities characterize current urbanism. In Colombia, land-use planning processes supported by geographical information systems are a recent phenomenon and the legal instruments of spatial planning are inadequate in most municipalities. Moreover, socio-spatial equity represents a challenge for Latin American cities in which there is increasing awareness of the role that spatial planning plays. Consequently, the question arises as to how the urban spatial structure and organization contribute to an inclusive and equitable socio-spatial evolution, considering climate change impacts. The case study analysed in this article focuses upon the northern limits of the city of Bogotá. Therefore, this research aims to define the ideal balance of urban land-use distribution between social stratum classification and the vulnerability of the communities seeking to better adapt to climate change. We propose a methodological approach of analysing spatial syntax and the (social) intensity of activities and infrastructure, which enables us to characterize the urban structure itself and identify vulnerable urban instances. As a result, we find that the urban network with low values presents spatial unpredictability in its pattern, constraining equitable development based on the urban morphology of the city. This research allows us to conclude that the degree of vulnerability encountered by the social urban spatial structure is higher in expansion areas than in central areas of the city.
