Abstract

Amid the city-building processes, Bogota keeps an unexplored history of neighborhood conflicts
that reveal those mechanisms, interests and expectations which placed in permanent dispute the
right to the city. One of the most emblematic neighborhood conflicts of the twentieth century was
raised by the construction of the Avenida de Los Cerros, a work that focused the interest of big
business and threatened the rights of vast popular sectors that for decades occupied the land
located in the eastern hills of the city. So through the characterization of the action of the State,
markets and society, the approach to this conflict allowed evidence of the tension that stands
between certain models of urban planning and the vindication of different social agents for
adaptation to urban life in a city of imbalances and social gaps as well as a marked pattern of
physical and social segregation.
