- 10. Key Points Statement: I have been interested in investigating the environmental conditions of the site in Usme, using that information to critique Metrovivienda’s Plan and develop Urban Design recommendations. On Growth: Growth will happen, though the demand for housing 250,000 can be addressed in different ways. Critique of Metrovivienda: One of the many of problems with Metrovivienda’s plan is that it does not consider certain social environmental conditions such as the existing agriculture, the ecological areas, and risk zones. Thesis: The Metrovivienda plan does not address important environmental and social conditions, therefore I have developed a set of strategies and tactics to approach the issues. I propose that the majority of the 250,000 people are placed in other parts of the city and that only certain areas in the site in usme developed.
