Abstract

In this article the transformation of the territory of San José de Cúcuta, Norte de Santander- Colombia, border area with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela during the last twenty years was studied, from a territorial and pedagogical approach based on the analysis of the physical dimensions -environmental, social-cultural and economic-normative, and phenomena such as: scarcity of developable land, limited urban planning and control strategies, migration, informality of the land and risks due to socio-natural phenomena as input in order to propose aspects and significant strategies for solving problems present in the territory. A mixed inductiveanalytical method was used, by source of documentary data collection. It was found that the city should
prioritize interventions focused on property sanitation and land formalization. In addition, that with respect to the physical- environmental and social-cultural dimensions, it is necessary to establish mechanisms for urban planning and management in response to the Sustainable Development Goals proposed for Latin American cities by the United Nations and contemplated in the agenda. 2030 for sustainable development.
