Resumen

Stratification in Bogota is justified by social policy
arguments even if this naturalized concept fosters
clear segregation through the price of public
services or real estate. Is Bogota’s stratification a
territorial stigma system? This paper argues that city
stratification is a resilient territorial stigma system
because its questioning from “below” reinforces
this control device designed from “above”. Findings
from press reviews and interviews suggest that
Bogota is in a “stratum trap” since governance
by segregation also reinforces and legitimizes
territorial stigmas. Despite all of this, it appears
that all social actors have found strategies to make
stratification work in their own interests.
