Abstract
It is necessary to know the principles of landscaping in order to design green areas in the city and make Lima a more inclusive and resilient city according to the Sustainable Development Goal 11. Landscaping incorporates different aspects, enabling an integral design of urban ecosystems. This chapter defines the basic concepts of landscape, matrix, spots and ecological corridors which are essential for urban ecosystems to function. In this sense, it studies how fragmentation of green areas has repercussions on the isolation and function of city ecosystems. In order to do this, the study includes concepts of ecology that are applied to the study of ecosystems and constitute their physical and biological structure. This chapter also reviews the main methodologies used to study urban landscape, as well as the classification and identification of green areas, transects and multitemporal analysis without forgetting aspects related to the population’s perception and their relationship with socio-cultural aspects. Finally, considering the peculiar characteristic of Lima city located in the desert and its cultural heritage, it highlights the importance of water in the design of the landscape.
