Ciudad en explosión: transformaciones territoriales en la región metropolitana de la Sabana de Bogotá

Abstract

This work studies the morphogenesis of the northern sector of the Capital District of Bogotá, and four municipalities close to this sector. It describes and interprets the transformations and changes the built-up space from a morphological approach, in its urbanistic and architectonical dimension. The article analyzes the morphogenetic processes from the middle 20th century to the present, and thus pretends to explain the way in which the area has been urbanized. The work describes, analyses and classifies Bogotá’s metropolitan growth, its materialization and temporality.
