| Summary: | Research on the morphological evolution of Colombian cities has focused on cities established in the Spanish colonial era. This article addresses the characterization of urban forms in Manizales. The authors use a geographic information system to obtain a slope map and the slope characterization with layer overlay analysis. Twenty-four out of the 114 neighborhoods of the city were selected, identifying eight typologies of urban networks throughout five phases of urban growth. The checkerboard network and its significant earthwork were discontinued since the mid-twentieth century. The subsequent urban networks try to adapt to the slopes with less modification of the terrain but without a reduction of the geotechnical risk. This interdisciplinary research becomes relevant for urban management insofar as no studies were found that integrate urban networks with slope characterization. |
