Loss of agro-productive soils resulting from urban sprawl in Ambato-Ecuador
With the passage of time, humanity has transformed a sea of rurality with some urban islands into a metropolitan sea with areas of countryside and nature (Naredo, 2004). Day after day, cities waterproof large areas of land, many of them with agricultural potential that have been lost under asphalt and cement. In recent years, small and medium-sized cities have gained territorial relevance by becoming urban centers of regional importance, not only because of their political, administrative, functional, socioeconomic, and physical scope, but also because of the possibility of avoiding repeating the mistakes of the large metropolises by maintaining harmony in rural-urban relations. In this context, this research analyzes how the horizontal urban growth has buried the best agricultural soils in its path, through the case study of the city of Ambato.
