“La ciudad también es nuestra”: formas de uso y apropiación del espacio de la comunidad afrocolombiana residente en el Barrio la Isla de Cazucá – Comuna 4 de Soacha

Abstract

Territorial planning in Colombia has been inefficient considering the precarious living conditions in which some population groups find themselves. In this scenario, it is essential to establish a dialogue with the instrumental dimension of the POT according to the proper forms of use and appropriation of the space; that is, giving an account of the importance of the social composition of the city and its relevance in participatory planning. In this planning the variable culture would denote great actions when it is an Afro-Colombian community that appropriates and manages its neighborhood. This appropriation is evident in the neighborhood of Isla de la comuna 4 de Cazucá - Comuna 4 de Soacha.
