Disparidad espacial y gentrificación en la densificación de los primeros suburbios latinoamericanos. La experiencia del Decreto 562 en Bogotá

The innerburbs are initially peripheral but now centrally located neighborhoods in Latin American cities. The literature suggests that they need renovation due to excessive use of houses and infrastructure. This renewal is essential within the framework of the housing debates around subsidizing cheap and peripheral units. In Bogotá, the Decreto 562 was introduced to allow the construction of high-rise housing in central areas to incentivize their renovation. This study analyzed its results within the framework of the spatial disparities of the city, using data from construction licenses and conversations with developers. The results show its success of incentivizing innerburbs' densification. Most projects followed traditional investment patterns, mostly for the high-income population in the northern part of the city. However, new dynamics of the high-rise housing constructions were also found outside these areas..
