Abstract
The flâneur is known as a Parisian urban figure in the XIX century that embodied certain lifestyle and a certain relation with the city, especially with commercial spaces in both transient and observer ways.

This article seeks to demonstrate how the figure of flâneur is still valid and explains properly the relation between pedestrian and commercial spaces, this time in a Latin-American city: Bogotá. Two specific cases, the strolling in the passages outdoor and consume in malls are then analyzed. Finally, there’s a reflection about the stroller’s experience in the contemporary cityThis journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
