Barranquilla, ¿Ciudad Jardín?

Barranquilla, an unfounded inhabited city. The current special, industrial and port district, in its historical beginnings, was nothing more than a place of passage in the middle of the routes and trips along the Magdalena River and the Caribbean Sea, given its strategic location as an intermediate point between Santa Marta and Cartagena, pioneer ports in the country's economy. Around the commercial boom of the time, which occurred directly on the edges of the Magdalena River, the first urban settlements arose near the Barranquilla swamp around the seventeenth century, in this way the fragmented expansive growth of the city began without planning, nor any conquest, because the urban expansion occurred according to the social and economic conditions of the Barranquilla inhabitants. The French historian Pierre D'Epagnonant, socially divides Barranquilla in two, the opulent left of the Magdalena River, made up of the center and the fifths and, on the other hand, the edge of the left with populations with fewer economic resources with a neighborhood below, Chiquinquirá , Rebolo and part of San Roque. Thus, from its beginnings the city was in fragments divided by social, economic and territorial barriers in such a way that the growth and expansion of the fragments allowed their union, but the invisible borders and borders continue to divide the city due to its heterogeneity. Focusing on the problem of urban fragmentation, we find the approach of Ebenezer Howard who designed a city model as a solution to the expansion problem given in the post-industrialization period, with compact urban planning strategies instead of the small fragments of the city . In this way, based on the "Garden City" theory designed by Howard, we developed an urban cohesion proposal designed for the city of Barranquilla, which, located with the basic scheme of city morphology, fulfilling the function of a connecting thread that integrates the Isolated fragments collapse the existing barriers within it, based on pedestrian paths, which throughout present a territorial and chronological tour of the city, exposing relevant aspects of Barranquilla, thus developing the city model of the "future Barranquilla".
