Parking is missing from most accounts of Bogotá’s urban revolution

Much has been said about Enrique Peñalosa’s “urban revolution” when he was
mayor of Bogotá, Colombia during 1998-2000. It is well known that he
developed the world-renowned BRT system TransMilenio. It is also well known
that he developed an aggressive agenda of public space recovery, sidewalk
building and cycleway construction.

However, little is known about the parking revolution that his
administration also started. This series of posts will describe parking
achievements and decisions in that era and since then. Today’s post focuses
on key parking changes under Peñalosa himself.
