EL VERDE METROPOLITANO: UNA REVISIÓN DE LOS ESPACIOS ABIERTOS PÚBLICOS EN CLAVE PANDÉMICA PARA EL ÁREA METROPOLITANA DE BUENOS AIRES

Abstract

The text brings together historical, ecological and metropolitan arguments in the provision of public open spaces for the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires (AMBA) in perspective with the current pandemic context. Firstly, it reviews memorable antecedents on the subject, contrasting certain epochal and contemporary hygienist imperatives with covid-19. In a second section, the concept of “ecological infrastructure'' is defined and the various physiological, health and ecological benefits of this concept are listed at different scales. By way of discussion, opportunities are mapped in the metropolitan geography, in the framework of the pampean and estuarine interface, to provide public open spaces.
