Abstract

After the implementation of information and communication technologies, there have been a series of transformations in the ways of thinking, feeling and / or acting that have implications for the economic system. For example, productivity no longer depends solely on quantitative production, now the economy potentiates the application of knowledge and information to production processes, which has a series of impacts on the societies or communities where it takes place. Therefore, this research is based on the interest of studying the main changes and advances in Bogotá in the transit from one industrial city to another of an informational type. The objective of this research is to make evident some social and economic changes that appear in Bogotá's transition from an industrial city to an informational city. This work is divided into 6 parts: The first is a look at the inclusion of technologies in Bogotá, a national context is presented and specifically the case of Bogotá. The second part is a theoretical approach to the informational city that begins with George Simmel and his studies on the metropolis, followed by the Chicago School, the French School of Sociology, finally the concept of the informational city is approached, accompanied by concepts such as global city from Saskia Sassen and the post-metropolis city of Soja.
