Abstract

The area covered between La Alameda and la Capuhina neighborhoods has been one of the most important and significant urban settings in the history of Bogota, capital of Colombia. This sector took importance as a great commercial node due to his strategical location. Currently, the neighborhood is inside of a place of urban renovation that presents uncountable social problematics, such as: insecurity, public space invasion, drugs dealing, exhibitionism, visual and auditive contamination, buildings desertion and deterioration, and great lack of hygiene in the public space. These situations transcend through the principal urban borders, which demonstrates that as preexistences in the city as the problems in the territory are transversal to the length of their borders “axis”. Accordingly this, the borders which shows this conditions propitiate negative environments for the staying of the people, thereby it is necessary to propose borders that may constitute Throughout different historical stages, it has acquired multiple forms and functions that have given it its character and identity; however, due to their status as "territory threshold" port and gate of the old city, the historic center and administrative center of the modern city, San Victorino and Nasturtium are an urban environment marked by their intersections and contrasts, reflected in the built environment and social actors. This research takes as its starting point an exploration of the important sectors that defined the establishment of trading houses in these neighborhoods who settled on the western slopes of the city of Santa Fe. Finishing the year 1581, a legion of parents Capuchins appeared to stay in the New Kingdom of Granada. It was a flat terrain, bordered by the San Francisco River that is the output port of Honda that connected inside with Cartagena, following the currents of the Magdalena River. Since then the Capuchin Fathers began to build a chapel which over the years would become church, which would be known as the "Church of San Jose", since the Church shares its space with the market for electric and the over time the industry took importance as a major commercial hub for the city of Bogotá since ancient times. Today the neighborhood is located within an area of urban renewal that has many social problems such as insecurity, public space invasion, drug addiction, prostitution, exhibitionism, sex workers, visual and noise pollution, public health, and a large number of commercial sex establishments, all these framed in major urban edges, which prevent the reading of the same permeable preventing him from being a sector of urban integration between its built fronts.
