Abstract

In 1967 the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO) awarded the city of Cali (Colombia) the right to host the sixth Pan American Games of 1971, the most important sporting event in the Americas. This paper aims to answer the following question: how was the relationship between the work plan for conducting the event and the urban planning processes in Cali? To determine the extent to which the event produced significant urban transformation, two approaches were used. 1. Synchronous, applied to the description and analysis of different urban plans between 1943 and 1971; 2. Diachronic, which examined the main activities in urban planning and architecture made from the public and private sectors.
