Abstract
Los procesos de urbanización en las ciudades amazónicas, entre ella Iquitos, de
carácter expansivo, fueron ocupando los espacios inmediatos a los centros urbanos
en torno a la concentración de los equipamientos urbanos comerciales, de educación
y de salud hasta llegar a los bordes fluviales inundables cercanos a estos,
formándose en ella a manera de “hongos” pequeños agrupamientos de viviendas
flotantes y palafíticas añadidas a las riberas. La inacción municipal y la falta de oferta
de suelos urbanos que reúnan condiciones de habitabilidad permitió que estos
siguieran creciendo de manera informal, sin control, sin infraestructura básica, sin
reconocimiento y con permanentes amenazas de desalojo.
Estos tipos de asentamientos poblacionales han poblado la periferia urbana de
Iquitos, no hay datos exactos de que cantidad de población viva en ellas, pero se
estima que son alrededor de los 80 mil a 100 mil habitantes, por lo tanto, requieren
atención de los arquitectos, urbanistas y planificadores urbanos. La normatividad
urbana nacional los desconoce y lo prohíbe, sin embargo, el Plan de Desarrollo
Urbano Sostenible de Iquitos 2011-2021 recoge en su normatividad este tipo de
asentamiento, propios de las comunidades ribereñas y lo incorpora como parte de la
ciudad, identificándola como Zona Residencial de Densidad Baja – Especial.
Como parte de mi formación profesional y sobre todo en el área de Urbanismo, me
llevo a tomar contacto con este tipo de asentamientos, asentamientos que
languidecen por sus condiciones precarias de habitabilidad, pobreza urbana, con el
deterioro consecuente del medio ambiente y del paisaje urbano. Elegí como área de
estudio la Junta Vecinal “San Agustín” por presentar estas condiciones y sobre todo
por esta “pegada” al espacio urbano más importante de la ciudad: “El Malecón
Tarapacá”, en ese sentido tiene un gran potencial de intervención urbana.
Se trata de un proyecto de “Regeneración Urbana Sostenible en Barrios Amazónicos
Informales en bordes fluviales inundables. Caso de estudio: Junta Vecinal Puerto
San Agustín”, que mejore las condiciones de habitabilidad en materia de vivienda,
espacios públicos, conectividad y condiciones socio-económicas. Pretendo que
constituya de algún modo, un prototipo de asentamiento urbano-ribereño más
amigable con el medio ambiente, que respete su entorno y se adecue a las
variaciones morfológica del río.
Considero que es un importante aporte como joven arquitecto a la solución de los
problemas de un importante sector de la ciudad, que ocupa zonas inundables.
The urbanization processes in the Amazonian cities, including Iquitos, of an expansive nature, were occupying the immediate spaces of the urban centers around the concentration of commercial, educational and health urban facilities until reaching the nearby flood-prone river edges. to these, forming in it in the form of "mushrooms" small groups of floating and stilt houses added to the banks. Municipal inaction and the lack of supply of urban land that meets habitable conditions allowed these to continue growing informally, without control, without basic infrastructure, without recognition and with permanent threats of eviction. These types of population settlements have populated the urban periphery of Iquitos, there is no exact data on the amount of population living in them, but it is estimated that there are around 80,000 to 100,000 inhabitants, therefore, they require attention from architects , urbanists and urban planners. The national urban regulations ignore them and prohibit them, however, the Sustainable Urban Development Plan of Iquitos 2011-2021 includes in its regulations this type of settlement, typical of the riverside communities and incorporates it as part of the city, identifying it as Zone Low Density Residential – Special. As part of my professional training, and especially in the area of Urbanism, it led me to make contact with this type of settlements, settlements that languish due to their precarious living conditions, urban poverty, with the consequent deterioration of the environment and the urban landscape. . I chose the "San Agustín" Neighborhood Council as the study area because it presents these conditions and above all because it is "attached" to the most important urban space in the city: "El Malecón Tarapacá", in that sense it has great potential for urban intervention. It is a project of "Sustainable Urban Regeneration in Informal Amazon Neighborhoods on floodable river banks. Case study: Puerto San Agustín Neighborhood Council”, which improves habitability conditions in terms of housing, public spaces, connectivity and socio-economic conditions. I want it to constitute, in some way, a prototype of an urban-riverine settlement that is more friendly to the environment, that respects its environment and adapts to the morphological variations of the river. I consider that it is an important contribution as a young architect to the solution of the problems of an important sector of the city, which occupies flood-prone areas.
