The realization of this titling project is a technical input to know the social and

environmental analysis of sustainable urban development in the neighborhood

Colinas del Norte located in the northwest of Quito.

The urban development of the neighborhood was studied through Land

Management, a preventive instrument of socio-environmental management, in all
that it plans the location and the behavior of humans activities in relation with the
space and the territory along with the fundamental source of work; the field study
by means of the application of surveys to the population and strategic qualified
actors, counterfoil of environmental urban profile and Ian Mcharg's ecological
counterfoil; the identification of qualitative and quantitative indicators of
sustainable city with reference to the environmental management and qualitative
indicators for the quality of public spaces.

As a result was identified the socio-environmental conflicts of the neighborhood:

the disorganization neighbourhood that generates a weakening of social fabric
and a diffuse relation with the Zonal Administration La Delicia to include projects
in improvement of the quality of life of its inhabitants rated as regular by the
residents, followed by the lack of recreation places and regular waste
management.

Finally, a proposed solution is indicated for the integral management of solid

residues applied to the recyclers or Environmental Managers of Minor (GME) with
the municipal entity of the Metropolitan District of Quito and a linking Project
developed in the Civil and Environmental Engineering of the Escuela
Politcnica Nacional and observation as for the lack of recreation places.
