Right to the City. Micropolitics from the periphery, Ciudad Bolívar- Bogotá

Abstract

This article focuses on the unequal access to the right to the city in the inhabitants of the locality 19 of Ciudad Bolívar in Bogotá, produced by the social inequalities that have historically accompanied this population, and generated in part, by the hegemonic powers present both globally and locally, those who are unaware of their dynamics and their territorial particularities. The re-appropriation of the territory is intended based on training and/or training workshops that provide, on the one hand, theoretical tools based on Harvey's postulates regarding the right to the city and other authors who develop concepts such as events and micropolitics, and on the other hand, practices from their own territorial experiences, from their community work. At the end, a significant experience of micropolitical action is presented with a foundation that has been carrying out its community work in a sector of the town for thirty years.
