Abstract
The environmental impact study has increased in recent years on the planet. The preoccupation in the interaction of mankind and the environment is getting bigger every day, and in that perspective urban spaces are highly relevant. Urban dynamics do not stop, and with them, the excessive urban expansion without planning is a real threat. In that sense, urban sustainability and planification must be analyzed in scenarios where man is leaving its footprint. The present article explored two perspectives from this mentioned problem, which was not analyzed deeply in Colombia in the past. First, it points to the study of the growth of urban variables in Colombian cities, and secondly, it showed the environmental impact caused by that growth. In the six selected cities for the analysis, demographic aspects, constructive density and the need to provide mobility solutions were some of the variables identified, which affected river systems, wetlands and changed agriculture land use into constructive areas. It is therefore that this article will be useful to urban planners to find environmental urban equilibrium in their urbanistic design initiatives.
