Resumo
BUSTAMANTE-PATINO, Bernardo e HERRERO-OLARTE, Susana. The ruling class, determinant of Quito's shape. Bitácora Urbano Territorial [online]. 2017, vol.27, n.3, pp.81-90. ISSN 0124-7913. https://doi.org/10.15446/bitacora.v27n3.55932.
This research tries to identify, through interviews and the revision of secondary sources, the motives of the ruling class in Quito to colonize new areas that expanded the city and defined its shape throughout its history. The main causes were avoiding the coexistence with other economic groups, rising population density, the search for a major touch with nature and the lack of town planning. The result is a dispersed city with potential spaces to developing product of the districts that ruling class were occupied, which define the challenges of the architects and town planners in the city.
