a More Socially and Environmentally
Sustainable Third World City"

Mr.
Peņalosa's term as the mayor of Bogota saw many
improvements in pedestrian and public spaces,
as well as to public transport, in an effort
to make the city more environmentally and socially
sustainable. The images below document some of
those efforts.

this urban golf club were turned into
a park

should live within 500 meters of a Transmilenio
station (Bogota's modern high-capacity
bus system)
