Abstract
In 2013, as part of a climate adaptation plan, Bogota introduced a housing subsidy to facilitate the relocation of residents in high-risk zones. Residents in the urban periphery, specifically those already displaced by civil conflict, voice concerns of the potential for a secondary displacement or a “double displacement.” Using housing data issued between 2013 and 2023, this study analyzes the spatial relationship between the city’s risk zones and subsidized housing. It finds that residents resettled with this subsidy continue to be disproportionately represented in high-risk zones, with 57% of subsidized units, and 51% of those for internally displaced persons, or desplazados as they are locally known, located in high-risk zones.
