Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper examines a public housing project conceived with a progressive commitment to socio-spatial inclusion in Bogota. With a focus on comprehensive planning goals, implementation processes, urban design features, and resident reactions, we show how and why the project’s form and function failed to address inhabitants’ livability concerns. After tracing this outcome to a mismatch between city-wide policy goals and neighbourhood-level actions, reinforced by divergent professional assumptions, we argue that the theory and practice of social justice planning should better take into account the mismatches of scale of well-intentioned progressive ideals, if such outcomes are to be avoided.
