Learning from Bogotá

"A thorough and in-depth investigation of Bogotá's much- praised urban transformation throughout the last twenty-five years. By recounting the successes and challenges of two key mayoral administrations in Bogotá-those of Antanas Mockus and Enrique Peñalosa-Berney makes a profound argument about the power of investment in public space and its signifi- cant transformative potential in the contemporary city." - FELIPE CORREA, Harvard University, author of Beyond the City: Resource - Extraction Urbanism in South America
"Criticism such as Berney's is fundamental to understanding the need for deeper, more profound, and more sustained solu- tions to socioeconomic urban problems that have such long histories." - FELIPE HERNÁNDEZ, King's College Cambridge, architect and author of Beyond Modernist Masters: Contemporary Architecture in Latin America
