Lima’s coastal lomas are fog oasis whose verdure and biodiversity challenge our imagery of the desert. Due to their extension and importance within an arid environment, they could constitute the biggest environmental referent for a city such as Metropolitan Lima, which faces current environmental and urban challenges. Today, Lima's fog oasis are open spaces and as such they present an opportunity to rethink the relationship they maintain with the city, either as natural reserves or spaces for public usage. This article aims to approach the lomas ecosystems from a geo-urban perspective to analyze the potential they offer both as an alternative and as an opportunity to overcome certain environmental challenges. |
