Observatorio del hábitat de Bogotá: hacia una propuesta para su creación en la Univer

Abstract

This letter is derived from a study that seeks to raise a proposal for the creation of the “Habitat Observatory of Bogota”, OHB, at the Faculty of Architecture of the La Gran Colombia University, UGC. After a conceptual and theoretical reflection on observatories, habitat and its sustainability and a contextualization about the habitat situation and its discussion in the international political arena, the article presents the main results of the research process that underlies the proposal: the description and analysis of the state of observation habitat at the global, national and local context, methodologies and experience in planning and implementing Observatories of similar orientation, and institutional guidelines of the UGC related to the topic under study. Finally, based on the interpretation of these results, the basic aspects of the design of the OHB are presented.
