La búsqueda del derecho a la ciudad: el caso de la urbanización informal en la localidad de Fontibón

Abstract

The land market has configured the urban space and this configuration does not necessarily guarantee the right to the city for all inhabitants, especially for those who live in neighborhoods of informal origin. This dynamic can be analyzed from the State and from the community; In this case, the communities are analyzed taking into account three specific situations: already legalized neighborhoods, neighborhoods in the process of legalization and neighborhoods whose legation was rejected, also looking at the position of the State regarding this. The work is carried out in the city of Bogotá, presenting below the characteristics of the investigation and the place where it will be carried out. The city of Bogotá, capital of Colombia, has a population of around nine million inhabitants with an urban area of ​​307.36 km2 divided into 21 towns (Mayor of Bogotá, 2010). In recent years, the city has become one of the main multicultural and multi-ethnic centers in the country, largely explained by the displacement suffered by inhabitants from many parts of the country. Secondly, the percentage contribution to the national GDP generated by the city should be highlighted, which attracts many people, both from other parts of the country and foreigners, to establish and generate business (Melo, 2001).
