The research aims to identify and characterize self-financing strategies and mechanisms of urban development through water resources management in neighborhoods of the Cochabamba metro area.
The study is carried out in the municipalities of Cochabamba, Sacaba, Quillacollo, Tiquipaya, Vinto and Colcapirhua. It is based on the thesis that the processes of autonomous management of water services reinforce the phenomenon of urban fragmentation.
