From urban infrastructure to population susceptibility

The aim of this research is to identify the impacts generated by the implementation of micro- and macro-drainage works on the Mutum canal. Given the transformations that have been taking place, from spatial relations to the valorization of the surrounding areas. This research aims to demonstrate what kind of transformations and forms of appropriation this structure has brought about. In this way, the aim is to measure the transformations that have taken place in space, the changes that have occurred at a socio-spatial level and what kind of speculation has been caused by the development. To this end, three actions will be carried out: firstly, to characterize the socio-economic profile and identify the transformations that took place in the neighbourhood during the implementation of the project. Secondly, to verify how the process of appropriation of the neighborhood took place. And finally, to observe the short- and long-term impacts caused by the appropriation of this area by the public authorities.
