Influencia de la verticalización urbana en el costo del suelo en la zona comprendida entre el río Yanuncay, el río Tomebamba y la Av. de las Américas de la ciudad de Cuenca - Ecuador

Abstract

n the intermediate cities of Latin America, renewal arises with the introduction of high-rise buildings as a response to the city's expansion problems. However, the maximum buildability allowed for some sectors of the city increases the price of land, so the objective of this research is to determine the correlation between the price per square meter of land and the trend toward high-rise growth. To meet this objective a quantitative analytical methodology based on data interpolation is applied to determine the degree of correlation between variables, which are evaluated and classified according to the level of correlation. When correlating the variables involved, it is determined that building height is not the factor that most influences the price per square meter of land since this is the result of the imbrication of a set of factors that generate a spatial dynamic from which the well-known urban rents are derived. However, due to the high rates of buildability there is a weak positive correlation between the price per square meter of land and the height of buildings. High-rise buildings do condition the price per square meter of land. However, other factors denote a dynamic strongly linked to the land market. Therefore, public policies should be developed to control and regulate the urban land market in sectors destined for high-rise buildings, motivating urban development models based on densification.
