Densidades divergentes y segregación socio-

Abstract

The population density of Bogotá is quite different to say the breadth of its range: the minimum one person per hectare and up to 622 / ha. The highest densities would be the most efficient and socially desirable faced with the dilemma of densification or metropolitan expansion. The problem is whether such an option is provided with the best quality. The aim is to show that this occurs not thus linking three factors that determine the quality of residential space –the allocations of public goods, proximity to green spaces and metropolitan parks, and social mix–, is that there is an inverse relationship between population density and urban quality. It is proposed as a measure of the divergence of the density a quality index of density that integrates both gross density as the three aforementioned determinants.
