Beginning in the late 1980s, the city emerged from a long period of political and social instability to become an unexpected model of urban development through the redesign and revitalization of the public realm-parks, transportation, and derelict spaces-under the leadership of two "public space mayors," Antanas Mockus and Enrique Penalosa (the latter reelected in 2015). Rachel Berney analyzes how these mayors worked to reconfigure the troubled city into a pedagogical one whose public spaces and urban policy have helped shape a more tolerant and aware citizenry. Berney examines the contributions of Mockus and Penalosa through the lenses of both spatial/urban design and the city's history. She shows how, through the careful intertwining of new public space and transportation projects, the reclamation of privatized public space, and the refurbishment of dilapidated open spaces, the mayors enacted an ambitious urban vision for Bogota without resorting to the failed method of the top-down city master plan. Illuminating the complex interplay between formal politics, urban planning, and improvised social strategies, as well as the negative consequences that accompanied Bogota's metamorphosis, Learning from Bogota offers significant lessons about the possibility for positive and lasting change in cities around the world. 650 0 $a City planning $z BogotaÌ. $z BogotaÌ. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009119903 651 0 $a BogotaÌ (Colombia) $x Politics and government. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009117324 650 0 $a City planning $x Social aspects $z BogotaÌ. $z BogotaÌ. 650 0 $a Social change $z BogotaÌ. $z BogotaÌ. 650 7 $a City planning. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862177 650 7 $a City planning $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862253 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Social change. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122310 651 7 $a Colombia $z BogotaÌ. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204897 776 08 $i Online version: $a Berney, Rachel, author. $t Learning from Bogot $b First edition. $d Austin : University of Texas Press, 2017 $z 9781477311059 $w (DLC) 2016024712 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210020630.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5562849EF05511E7964A246697128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
