ABSTRACT
Most of the cities of the Global South are characterized by high densities and organically evolved land use mixes. The cities of the Global South are characterized by increasing numbers of people forcibly evicted from city centers, and living in informal settlements on the urban periphery. Economic, social, and demographic concerns were pivotal for the corridor design, which aimed to maximize proximity and connectivity while improving the quality of transport and providing a safe urban space. While connectivity to peri-urban communities through improved public transport and affordable housing strategies is critical, another unique feature of the cities of the Global South is their reliance on informal public transport and two-wheelers to achieve this connectivity. The city of Bogotá is actively working to find the right balance between formal and informal public transport and creating an environment that meets the needs of pedestrians and non-motorized transport (NMT) users.
