Abstract

Economic growth in Bogota and its region will produce important changes in urban development and mobility. Increase in private vehicle ownership in the next decades will contribute to urban sprawl and car dependency in a development pattern similar to the one lived by North American cities. This paper underlines the policy and strategy to be adopted by Bogota District in order to prevent a path of non sustainable development, promote a more inclusive city and an efficient integration with the Region
