Item Análisis del déficit de espacio público verde, por efecto del crecimiento urbanístico de la ciudad de Medellín(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Chaparro Fajardo, Laura Caterine; Flórez Echeverri, Jennifer; Bernal Suárez, Diana PaolaGreen public space is a key element in cities, recognizing their ecological functions and their contribution in the formation of ecological networks. However, in the cities of Latin America such as Medellin, Colombia, there are deficit of public space compared to the minimum indicator of 15m2/capita recommended by the World Health Organization – WHO, indicator that given the rapid growth of the population will continue to decline over time. For this reason, it is necessary an adequate management and planning of the land as a key tool to address this deficit. Currently in Colombia, there are phenomena such as a shortage of urbanizable soil, incomplete development on the urban fringe, low quantity and quality of public space, as well as loss and deterioration of natural resources, because of poor management of urban development and unplanned land use. Therefore, it is an important issue to understand the problem, establish responsibilities and come up with solutions involving all actors in society as an integral part of the sustainable development of the city.
