ESTACIÓN SABANA VIVA. Renovación urbana al área contigua a la Estación del tren de la Sabana como medio de articulación y revitalización sociocultural, de un sector abandonado del centro histórico de Bogotá

Abstract

Railway transport infrastructures have fallen into disuse in the different cities in which these transport systems have been relegated by new technologies or other modes of urban or regional transport, generating abandoned buildings or urban voids prone to processes of deterioration, insecurity and desolation. in the city. This situation currently occurs in Bogotá D.C., in which the Sabana Train Station has turned out to be an obsolete and abandoned infrastructure over time for reasons ranging from the transformation of public and regional transportation, to administrative deficiencies on the part of the entities in charge. Although, the building serving train users was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest of the National Order in 1984 due to its historical importance and today it operates as the Sabana tourist train and the naranja cultural center in the maintenance and protection areas. of the trains have been constituted as a non-place, an urban void and an obstacle that fractures the urban space of the El Listón, Santa fé, La favorite, La Sabana and San Facon neighborhoods, generating urban deterioration that overshadows the heritage values and cultural of this important sector of the Historic Center of Bogotá. The Sabana Viva Station project is proposed as an urban renewal operation that allows the revitalization of the train station sector through the incorporation of new inhabitants and attractive user activities ranging from new housing projects, office complexes, public space vital, to new open spaces built with a cultural focus that achieve the rebirth of a cultural sector and high mobility flows in the city.
