Residential settlements in the city of Cuenca have been forming at the same time as urban interventions carried out with the intention of planning a growth of the city, or by events that have passed over time.
At present, the city has a model of settlement in which corresponds to the uses of soil underlying after the "Ordinance that punishes the Territorial ordering Plan of the Cuenca canton: determinations for the use and occupation of urban soil" issued by the municipality of Cuenca in 1998 and renovated in 2003. This model has allowed the population with facilities services, communication and an environment suitable for the development of activities of daily living; However, after a decade of their validity, is believed relevant to evaluate and adjust this model with the intention of encourage towards a compact settlement.
This research has been focused on those resources that allow to improve the existing conditions in current soil use model, at the same time that has raised a series of strategies and recommendations to advance toward a compact city.
