Description
Summary:The article explores the recent transformations of the urban peripheries of Bogotá. The increasing complexit of these lead us to consider the emergence of a new model of peripheral urbanity. We analyze the new model of peripheral urbanity as the result of interactions between large recent investment of capital, both from private groups and also from public sector, and the actions of the inhabitants. To examine this theme, we restore the historic logic of production of urban space in three study areas in western and northern peripheries of Bogota and we are faced with forms of social and political mobilization that have evolved simultaneously. The introduction of a mode of production «from above» in spaces traditionally produced «from below» entails significant changes in the ways people relate to their living spaces.
