The remarkable urban transformation of Bogota, Colombia represents a world-leading example of sustainable urban design. Achievements such as Latin America’s largest network of bicycle ways (270 km), the extraordinary bus rapid transit system called TransMilenio, the world’s longest pedestrian corridor (17 km), and the celebration of the planet’s biggest Car Free Day (covering an entire city of 35,000 hectares) have made Bogota a model for building a more human city. 

The International Seminar on Human Mobility on February 6-9 will be your opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences with the persons who have led this remarkable transformation.
