Estrategias en términos de uso y ocupación del suelo en el marco del derecho a la ciudad en torno al acelerado crecimiento urbano presente en las Conurbaciones de San Joaquín y Baños.

Abstract

The accelerated growth of cities worldwide leads to strong dynamics, which intensify the urban population and show marked territorial imbalances between urban and rural areas. In the city of Cuenca, however, the urban limit has become imperceptible; but the existing differences between the city and the countryside are strong. The right to the city proposed in 1968 by Henri Lefebvre is a key theory for the development of territories; however, current problems require reconceptualizing it, so that a spatial reading of this term is possible. This was carried out on the basis of the interrelation of the basic concepts of "Right" with the principles of the right to the city and its correspondence with the fundamental needs of the human being raised by Neef, constituting the starting point for the approach of qualitatively and quantitatively measurable territorial variables. Two conurbations of the city of Cuenca are analyzed around this problem and under this study approach: San Joaquín and Baños. However, its application does not exempt other contexts, as long as it precedes a study of that place
