Bogota

Bogota as a 15mC experience cited in Teixeira et al 2024

15mC concept: "Barrios Vitales (Vital Neighbourhoods)"

Implemented from 2021

Barrios Vitales (Vital Neighbourhoods) is Bogota's approach for creating more people-centred mobility and thriving streets. Projects reorganise public space to allocate more street space for walking, cycling and people-focused on-street uses, adapt traffic flows, designate loading and unloading zones, and more.

Delivery of the Barrios Vitales approach is integrated within the city's Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial land use plan (2022 - 2035). It integrates a 30-minute city strategy and the Barrios Vitales approach. It expands the city’s metro and cable car/aerial tram lines to support longer trips, improves a 218 kilometre network of pedestrian routes, and delivers 18 Barrios Vitales. It also makes provisions for denser housing to meet anticipated housing demand within the city, and increases protection for green space and wetlands.
