SANEAMIENTO, SALUBRIDAD E HIGIENE PÚBLICA

Transformaciones socio espaciales del hábitat urbano en Bogotá inicios del Siglo XX

Abstract

This study carried out within the Doctorate of art and architecture, in the line of theory and history of architecture and the city in Colombia and Latin America of the National University of Colombia, addresses the influence that the hygienist movement in Latin America and Colombia had on the interpretation of concepts such as sanitation, health and public hygiene in the urban habitat, where cartography and geospatial literature do not reflect settlement processes and the appropriation of urban space and habitat. Relationships of causes that occur around diseases and contextual thoughts are developed and established at a social, cultural, political, economic, scientific and urban architectural level, with ways of organizing the territory and the city, from an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of this phenomenon, developing from the local administration an approach to progress and development in the city of Bogotá at the beginning of the 20th century.
