description This paper inquires the urban planning and the environmental management, in relation to the treatment of the green spaces and the existing vegetation in the city, perceived today as urban nature. The analysis makes some specific references to Medellín, in order to illustrate a similar situation given in other cities. The first part outlines the importance that nature acquires in the dispersed city, from the social, environmental and the spatial organization point of view of the urban expansion. Secondly, the work approaches to the issue of the conservation of urban nature, its pertinence and its implications with respect to the design and treatment of the green zones in cities; raising as well the limitations that the formal managing of such spaces entails, from the ecological point of view. The third part of the document recognizes the social character of the urban green zones, and with it, the necessity to articulate and to condition the processes of conservation and naturalization of green areas based on the perception and acceptance by the citizens as the key factor in the success of projects in such sense. Finally, the work raises important criteria and actions for the definition of management strategies and managing of urban nature, like a new challenge and administrative objective of the city, not only on the scale of the urban landscape, but in terms of a greater ecological functionality of their green areas.

El trabajo desarrolla un cuestionamiento a la planificación urbana y a la gestión ambiental, en relación con el manejo de los espacios verdes y la vegetación existente en la ciudad, percibidos hoy como naturaleza urbana. El análisis hace algunas referencias específicas a Medellín, para ilustrar una situación que es similar en otras ciudades. La primera parte señala la importancia que adquiere la naturaleza en la ciudad dispersa, desde el punto de vista social, ambiental y en la organización espacial de la expansión urbana. En segundo lugar, el trabajo aborda la cuestión de la conservación de la naturaleza urbana, su pertinencia y sus implicaciones conceptuales respecto al diseño y manejo del verde en las ciudades; plantea, a su vez, las limitaciones que conlleva el manejo formal de tales espacios, desde el punto de vista ecológico. La tercera parte del documento reconoce el carácter social del verde urbano y con ello, la necesidad de articular y condicionar los procesos de conservación y naturalización de áreas verdes en función de la percepción y aceptación de los ciudadanos, como factor clave de éxito de los proyectos en tal sentido. Finalmente, el trabajo plantea criterios y acciones fundamentales para la definición de estrategias de gestión y manejo de la naturaleza urbana, como un nuevo reto y objetivo administrativo de la ciudad, no solo a la escala del paisaje urbano, sino en términos de una mayor funcionalidad ecológica de sus áreas verdes.
