The distritalización in Guayaquil: Innovation in the planning and the urban control of the city

Abstract

Toe debate between growth and the distribution of resources in the administration of cities is part of the evolutionary history of each city There are multiple ways to achieve efficient local administration in the distribution of public resources. These resources should be geared to favor the interests of different districts and to correct any type of imbalance, without excluding the investments necessary for global urban development. This paper proposes the establishment of a set of urban and administrative tools for local governments, with the aim of improving the cost-benefit analysis of urban development through the application of urban districts. These tools are based on the distribution of the population in the territory, to achieve a fair distribution of the resources.
