Residential Verticalization and Urban Planning Instruments in the Metropolitan Area of Guadalajara Study Cases: Colomos Providencia and Country districts

Abstract

In the last ten years, housing production has been transformed, and part of the consequences of national and global economic policies (among other multifactorial causes) have led to higher housing prices, high rents, abandonment, financialization and increased land prices due to land management, urban policies, planning instruments and speculative intervention of private property. The objective of the research is to analyze the verticalization of the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area (AMG), in the Minerva area, marked by the transformation of its territory, profile and urban landscape. The phenomenon was studied based on a quantitative analysis, in which a population and demographic analysis of the AMG was carried out; a comparison was made of the supply and demand for vertical housing in some residential areas of the AMG, such as District 2 Minerva Colomos Providencia Urban Subdistrict (D2SD02) and Country Urban Subdistrict (D2SD03) over the last 10 years, according to official data such as the National Housing Information and Indicators System (SNIIV), the Registro Único de Vivienda (RUV) and the Plan Parcial de Desarrollo Urbano (PPDU) in Case Studies Colomos Providencia and Country Districts to examine housing costs and densities, which allow identifying central areas of the city and the effects of verticalization due to lack of regulation of the real estate market according to current land densification policies and current regulations.
