Green and Ecological Corridors: Strategic Development for Cities

Latin-America Cities

Based on maps, we seek to understand if there is any correlation between ways and the consumption of fossil fuels. That’s a method also combined with numbers. The fewer the possibilities of transport, the more the traffic jam, for instance. Other issue is if the influence of the decision-making process has historically resulted in a non-proportional interconnected zoning development. How do we see that? Comparing the city lines of Latin-American cities with the Nordic urban lines. The metropolises of Ciudad de México, São Paulo and Buenos Aires have a very similar infrastructure compared to the smallest urban areas in the Nordic region. We do not want the reader to think about the importation of models or lead you into the debate of what is best option for urban planning, although it is a fact the ways in Latin-American cities are not proportional to their number of inhabitants when we talk about transport connection options.

  • All the maps have a scale 1:250000, QGIS, Google Roadmap.
  • Latin-American tab section corresponds to those urban areas with more than 10 million residents.
  • Nordic Cities tab refers to the Nordic urban areas with between 50,000 and 150,000 residents.
  • Tables & Graphs the figures in terms of energy consumption. Still updating data, content and maps. Be patient!


Ciudad de México

Ciudad de México

The black lines we see on the map indicates all the paths that exist in the City of Mexico (DF). Not only do they indicate streets, roads and highways, but also natural paths as tracks through parks, navigation routes for costal waters among other possibilities. If these lines have a considerable percentage of green landscape capturing effectively \({CO_2}\) and promoting the interconnection of economies, that is to say, local, regional, national and international economies, they can be defined by green corridors. Green corridors are linked to movement of cargo in the Nordic glossary for sustainable cities. We add herein another concept or the ecological urban corridor which is the combination of minimum movement of people and cargo as possible.

São Paulo
