Segregación socio-espacial en Bogotá: El caso del Proyecto Plaza de la Hoja, la Unidad Residencial Colseguros y el barrio Cundinamarca

Abstract

The 1970s marks a point of reference to explain the urbanization processes in Latin America, according to ECLAC (2002) the determining factors of this urbanization were associated with factors such as the process of substitute industrialization, which involved an increasing concentration of productive activities in cities, and the modernization of capitalist relations in the countryside, which had decisive implications for the rural exodus. The panorama in the region during the following decades was strongly influenced by constant migrations. In the Colombian context, these migrations were translated into settlements of informal origin that date from the end of the 19th century and that "became more important both in quantity and variety after the middle of the last century when the urbanization process of Colombian cities became more dynamic . " By the beginning of this century, more than 30,145 urban hectares of the country were configured informally. (Research group Urban Processes in Habitat, 2009)
