Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once known as a “drug capital” and associated with kidnappings, violence, and excess, Bogotá, Colombia, has undergone a transformation that some have termed “the miracle of Bogotá.” Beginning in the late 1980s, the city emerged from a long period of political and social instability to become an unexpected model of urban development through the redesign and revitalization of the public realm—parks, transportation, and derelict spaces—under the leadership of two “public space mayors,” Antanas Mockus and Enrique Peñalosa (the latter reelected in 2015). In Learning from Bogotá, Rachel Berney analyzes how these mayors worked to reconfigure the troubled city into a pedagogical one whose public spaces and urban policy have helped shape a more tolerant and aware citizenry. Berney examines the contributions of Mockus and Peñalosa through the lenses of both spatial/urban design and the city’s history. She shows how, through the careful intertwining of new public space and transportation projects, the reclamation of privatized public space, and the refurbishment of dilapidated open spaces, the mayors enacted an ambitious urban vision for Bogotá without resorting to the failed method of the top-down city master plan. Illuminating the complex interplay between formal politics, urban planning, and improvised social strategies, as well as the negative consequences that accompanied Bogotá’s metamorphosis, Learning from Bogotá offers significant lessons about the possibility for positive and lasting change in cities around the world.

Download or read book Endangered City written by Austin Zeiderman and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-19 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Security and risk have become central to how cities are planned, built, governed, and inhabited in the twenty-first century. In Endangered City, Austin Zeiderman focuses on this new political imperative to govern the present in anticipation of future harm. Through ethnographic fieldwork and archival research in Bogotá, Colombia, he examines how state actors work to protect the lives of poor and vulnerable citizens from a range of threats, including environmental hazards and urban violence. By following both the governmental agencies charged with this mandate and the subjects governed by it, Endangered City reveals what happens when logics of endangerment shape the terrain of political engagement between citizens and the state. The self-built settlements of Bogotá’s urban periphery prove a critical site from which to examine the rising effect of security and risk on contemporary cities and urban life.

Book excerpt: En el marco del Año Colombia-Francia 2017 este catálogo editado en francés y en inglés así como la exposición de donde se derivan son el resultado de la invitación a Bogotá para participar en la Bienal Ágora de urbanismo arquitectura y diseño de Burdeos (Francia) para presentar allí una mirada innovadora y vanguardista de ciudad a la par con otras urbes en el mundo.

Bajo el lema de la Bienal “Paisaje en progreso. Paisaje en movimiento” y a través de cartografías interactivas paisajes sonoros fotografías videos y planimetrías Bogotá expuso cuatro grandes ejes como camino de la transformación: el desarrollo urbano formulado a partir de la valoración y protección del patrimonio ambiental el espacio público y la obra pública como escenarios democráticos para construir comunidad la infraestructura para la movilidad sostenible privilegiando a quienes utilizan sistemas de uso público a los peatones y los usuarios de la bicicleta las estrategias de expansión y renovación urbana a partir de las dinámicas de la ciudad aportando a una mejor calidad de vida. La publicación recoge un conjunto de proyectos que apunta a nuevos colegios hospitales parques centros culturales y deportivos ciclorrutas y espacios que invitan a caminar viviendas dignas y eficientes sistemas de transporte masivo barrios desmarginalizados y un centro histórico recuperado montañas y cursos de agua para el disfrute de todos. El Instituto Distrital de Patrimonio Cultural a través del museo de la ciudad ha hecho las veces de ‘editor’ de este proyecto al recopilar y disponer de forma integral y en un solo lugar el trabajo conjunto de las distintas entidades distritales que adelantan las propuestas y las obras que conducirán a la transformación positiva de la capital para las próximas décadas. Aquí y en Burdeos el Museo de Bogotá se convierte más que nunca en el espacio para reflexionar sobre los grandes temas urbanos y sociales.
Download or read book A Gringa in Bogot written by June Carolyn Erlick and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To many foreigners, Colombia is a nightmare of drugs and violence. Yet normal life goes on there, and, in Bogotá, it's even possible to forget that war still ravages the countryside. This paradox of perceptions—outsiders' fears versus insiders' realities—drew June Carolyn Erlick back to Bogotá for a year's stay in 2005. She wanted to understand how the city she first came to love in 1975 has made such strides toward building a peaceful civil society in the midst of ongoing violence. The complex reality she found comes to life in this compelling memoir. Erlick creates her portrait of Bogotá through a series of vivid vignettes that cover many aspects of city life. As an experienced journalist, she lets the things she observes lead her to larger conclusions. The courtesy of people on buses, the absence of packs of stray dogs and street trash, and the willingness of strangers to help her cross an overpass when vertigo overwhelms her all become signs of convivencia—the desire of Bogotanos to live together in harmony despite decades of war. But as Erlick settles further into city life, she finds that "war in the city is invisible, but constantly present in subtle ways, almost like the constant mist that used to drip down from the Bogotá skies so many years ago." Shattering stereotypes with its lively reporting, A Gringa in Bogotá is must-reading for going beyond the headlines about the drug war and bloody conflict.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cultural imaginary is a structuring space through which collective understandings of cultural and society phenomena are formed, reproduced, and accepted as the norm. Reading the Walls of Bogotá uses graffiti and street art to explore the urban imaginaries of violence in Bogotá, Colombia. These artistic forms are produced and received in different ways in different areas of the city and offer an insight into citizens’ everyday experiences and perceptions of violence from the political, to the personal, to that of structural inequality. Through graffiti, in which critiques of memory, space, politics, and aesthetics are embedded, artists and their viewers form vernacular theories through which they interpret the world and the spaces they inhabit. By focusing on creative expression, Alba Griffin shows how Bogotá’s residents respond to imaginaries of violence, how they critique the norms, how they appropriate space to challenge or negotiate violence, and how they push back against inequality.
