Research and Development of Sustainable Urban Planning in Cauca (Popayán Case Study)
Summary
The procect seeks to contribute to innovation and sustainable development of the region, through the incorporation of new technologies in the study, visualization and modeling of the city by creating a technological package that contributes to sustainable urban planning processes of the city of Popayán and which can be replicated in intermediate cities and municipalities with less than 100-thousand inhabitants.
The technological package will be associated to a city model that contains the general guidelines that permit guiding the actions of territorial administrations and the citizenship in the construction of prosperous, innovative, and sustainable territories.
