The Plazoletas Bogotá program, spaces for all, is a strategy of urban intervention by phases that the city of Bogotá, makes available for citizens to recover, transform and generate public space that prioritizes the circulation and safe permanence of pedestrians. Through reconfiguring underutilized or misused road beds, we created new meeting points, spaces for activity and enjoyment for the communities that encourages physical activity and the desire to travel the city by foot. In this way we promote an evenly and strategic use of our streets to both prioritize pedestrians mobility and create a enjoyable city.
