Following the principle of decentralization, a city within a city was conceived for Bogotá, which, possessing all the necessary qualities to function independently, also helps to tie the greater existing city surrounding it. The city´s most important urbanistic undertaking of the time used large terrains that formerly belonged to the Hacienda Salitre, located halfway between the international airport and the capital´s historic city center, at that moment the geographical center of Bogotá. 2.400.000 square meters of urban development, 50% of which destined to public spaces, mostly green areas, are placed within a framework of urban infrastructure, made up of 49 kilometers of roads, 30 km of pedestrian walkways and 8 km of bicycle paths. The other 50% of the area, for private development distributed in generous plot sizes, is destined to housing, institutional and other uses. The plan relies on the idea that the city is ultimately shaped by its architecture. The project counted on an interdisciplinary team of professionals that measured and confirmed each decision on site. A rigorous urban structure was thus laid out, with a rhythmic placement of street furniture and trees. Now consolidated as a main metropolitan axis, the project has become a renowned example for large scale urban interventions.
