Abstract

This research addresses the impact of occupation processes carried out in floodplain areas in three cities: Santiago (Chile); Medellín (Colombia) and São Paulo (Brazil). The main issue of the proposed comparative study is the occupation of urban floodplains. The similarity in the process of occupation of urban centers and their relationship with their rivers and floodplains, makes the case studies elaborated within this cut, of regional character, enrich the debate and point out coherent and feasible paths for the development of projects and plans for urban floodplain areas. This article aims to contribute to the analysis of the issue of urban water, which is increasingly becoming an element to be incorporated into the processes of occupation and urban transformation.
