Abstract
This reflection is the result of a Master’s degree investigation about the socio-spatial segregation in the eastern mountains of Bogotá. The text aims to present a critic discussion on the manner in which the environmental and the urban relate in a city like Bogotá, where land planning and the realities produced within, seem to move away between them each time further. The objective of this discussion is to demonstrate the appreciation of the ecological importance and environmental character of the Reserve; the urban structure of the city, where the predominant element of each position collides between conservation-preservation visions; the construction of urban conventions and normative interventions; and the generation of population inequalities. In order to achieve this, it was necessary to revise the public policy released for the mountains of Bogota, identifying its epistemological point of departure and its effects on the urban and environmental aspects of the eastern border of the city. The results are an approach to a comprehensive management proposal of the environmental policy in the urban context, especially related to the persistent conflict in the Protective Forest Reserve Eastern Woods of Bogota.
