Park Cerro de las Tres Cruces

Abstract

The high cost of land generates an inner growth in the cities in South America. In Cali, Colombia this growth has created a dense landscape with few open areas appropriated for the outdoor recreation of Cali's inhabitants.Calehos prefer to develop projects on flat surfaces. However, every day more residential projects are being developed in the foot of the hills that surround Cali, leaving the areas undeveloped in the upper part of the mountains.A landscape architect can preserve these green areas for the enjoyment of the Calehos, providing at the same time a solution for the present problems of erosion and landscape destruction.
