The renovation project in the historic city center of Bogota

Ministry's project, an urban renovation project that looks for a complete shift in the historic center of Bogota. This study approaches the two stories behind the urban regeneration process proposed by the named project, trying to understand which urban agencies are involved, how they are handling the situation with the community and what their agendas are. This is done from the review of the proposals made by the stakeholders -the National Government represented by the Company for Urban Renovation EVB and the community represented by the committee 'En Defensa del Centro'. The analysis allows understanding the way in which the expertise-authorized discourse of heritage stores political positions. In this case, heritage is being used as a tool to impose and to resist urban (re) development.
