Abstract
In the middle of the 20th century, Bogotá was immersed in a profound and complex process of transformation driven by two fundamental factors: unchecked population growth and the extension of urbanization well beyond the permitted urban limits. A fundamental component that accompanied this process was the transformation of the means of locomotion of the inhabitants of the city, as determined by the increase of vehicles, the transformation of the public transportation model, and the search for alternatives to the consequences produced by the two aforementioned aspects. The objective of this article is to understand what kind of social cost the Colombian capital had to take on, in terms of mobility, to become a “modern” city. The expectation is, therefore, that based on the analysis of the different aspects mentioned about mobility of the city, one can understand the difficult negotiation between urban changes and ways of inhabiting the city.
