Descripción:The planning and land management require the projection in geographical space of strategies and actions based on economic, social, environmental and political-administrative development; aspects that require a review and integration of instruments to ensure the sustainability of the territory. This article evaluates the process of growth and urban renewal in Santa Barbara de Heredia, to generate a new proposal for urban expansion, according the environmental capacities of the territory. Urban areas have been identified in the period 1945 - 2013, using aerial photographs and satellite images and areas with environmental limitations according existing official information were identified. The demand for land is also estimated using the average property obtained from cadastral information and the population census data, in order to establish potential areas of urban growth. Analysis methodology K-means clustering was used. The research identified three types of urban growth related to regenerative processes, as well the spaces in which the urban improvement is needed and define the possible areas for future occupation, consistent to the existing environmental limitation.
