MONDAY 18th _ OPEN EVENT: Self Produced City Logic

Carlos TORRES, PhD. Profesor Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá D.C.

Production and Transformation of Residential Space of Low Income Population in Bogota under Neoliberal Policies (1990-2010)

Producción y transformación del espacio residencial de la población de bajos ingresos en Bogotá en el marco de las políticas neoliberales (1990-2010).

Abstract:
La ponencia presentada resume la tesis doctoral que defendí en el año 2011 en la Universidad de Valladolid. La Tesis propone una aportación original a la comprensión de la problemática de la vivienda social en Colombia a partir del análisis de la evolución de los procesos de producción y transformación del espacio residencial para la población de bajos ingresos, enmarcado en las políticas de producción de vivienda social y de legalización de barrios en la ciudad de Bogotá en el periodo 1990 2010, periodo que, a su vez, se corresponde con el mayor desarrollo de las políticas neoliberales en Colombia. Ello en función de su gestión y de las características socio-espaciales de estos fragmentos de ciudad producidos o transformados, por dinámicas formales e informales, que permite comprender su relación con los cambios recientes en los marcos políticos y económicos colombianos y sus repercusiones sociales y urbanísticas. Marcados, necesariamente, por el conflicto interno social y armado que vive Colombia y, el avance del modelo neoliberal.

Palabras Clave: Espacio residencial, espacio urbano, ciudad, vivienda social, población de bajos ingresos, Bogotá, neoliberalismo, legalización de barrios, formalidad, informalidad, agentes urbanos.

SUNDAY 17th _ FIELDTRIP COMUNA 8: "Advocating the Right to Live with dignity in our territories" (CPG-C8)

SOCIAL MOBILIZATION: 

Campaign "For the right to live with dignity" - Comuna 8 

The second field trip focused on a detailed view of the Comuna 8 urban border guided by local leaders. Moreover, the visit intended to offer to the students a glimpse into the complexities of the social organization in Comuna 8.  In each neighborhood a local leader provided an accurate set of needs and proposals regarding the Metropolitan Green Belt. In this visit, the students not only experienced first hand social mobilization, but also acknowledged the contribution of each social organization to the grassroots  planning process.

SATURDAY 16th: FIELDTRIP MEDELLÍN Integral Urban Projects: PUI

ICONIC URBAN PROJECTS

The first field trip sought to familiarize the students with the latest large scale projects led by the municipality in Medellin. We visited two Urban Integral Projects (Comuna 1 and 13), New North Center - a node of public facilities and recreational sites- and Nuevo Occidente - a massive social housing area. This visit provided a general view on the spatial strategies used to tackle the public intervention of strategic territories and its connection with the public transit system.

PRESENTATION:

"The boundary is not a spatial fact with sociological consequences, but a sociological fact that forms itself spatially." (Georg Simmel, 1997: 142)

This workshop provides a platform for conducting pedagogical proposals that, in turn, serve to address the needs of communities and develop technical skills in students. By delving into a real, local problem we hope to generate a place for reflection on the complex socio-spatial issues facing interdisciplinary planning exercises, and explore the ethical and professional responsibilities that arise when interacting with partners. The role of the workshop in the master’s program is to create an ​​academic work that poses the unique challenges of real-world interdisciplinary planning projects. The workshop is an educational experiment that is part of a collaborative initiative with the Master of Urban Planning at Columbia University - New York and a Master of International Cooperation Sustainable Emergency Housing International University of Catalonia - Barcelona.

This exercise develops the curriculum in core subjects of the respective Masters programs; for this first version of the joint workshop, the focus will be the improvement and regularization of informal settlements in the border.


General objective of the workshop:

Produce a critical debate on the border intervention strategies through the expansion, discussion and review of related theoretical and applied strategies staged in other contexts. In addition, we seek to build a consensus among community, institutional and academic actors in order to produce a model of intervention in the urban edge.
