Abstract

The participation of Bogotá, historically has been the highest in the economic development of Colombia, since it has a participation of 34.5% of the country's GDP, comparing with 13.4% of the department of Antioquia and 25.8% of other departments. (DANE, 2015) The town of Santa Fe, located in the center of Bogotá with a polygon that borders on the north with the Arzobispo Canal or Calle 39, on the south with Avenida Primera Street, on the east with the eastern hills and on the west with Caracas Avenue, has presented since the 50s an urban deterioration, which began as of April 9, 1948 as a result of the so-called "Bogotazo". This event produced a process of displacement of traditional inhabitants towards urbanized sectors in different areas of Bogotá, as a result of the change of land use of the center that developed during this time. Due to this migration, the Barrio Santa Inés became a receptor of population from different regions of Colombia displaced by violence, seeking new opportunities. Little by little, the sector was consolidated as a smuggling area due to the fact that the population that came from other areas of Colombia to Bogotá, traded different types of inputs at a low price; this and the unemployment, were concentrating groups of stationary salesmen and many young people in search of their subsistence. Poverty caused that this population was increasing and by the end of the sixties and the beginning of the seventies, the Santa Inés neighborhood was beginning to be a place stigmatized by the consumption and sale of drugs. In a strange way, this place had become the hub of such activity in the city.
