Resumen

The satellite city of Ciudad Pachacutec, is located within the district of Ventanilla in the province of Callao, in the northern limit of the province of Lima located in a desert strip or what we commonly know as —sand— between the sea and small hills type Island typical of the coastal desert, which is why it presents diverse ecosystems due to its soil and climate. This research focuses on the search for concepts, elements and characteristics from its own desert landscape related to urban expansion and its territory through the search for specialized bibliography in the country; mainly that it tries to reassess our natural habitat, the physical-spatial relationship of the current urban structure with the desert, the theoretical characterization of basic dimensions from the current regulations and a graphic analysis of the landscape by layers of its historical-cultural process as well as its interaction with its surrounding ecosystems; finally allowing us to propose a first sustainable scenario through urban-territorial strategies for a Pachacutec City with a view to 2029. © The author; licensee Universidad de la Costa - CUC
