Hi Carlos, 


Thanks for the post. For an outsider, it is difficult to understand the ground situations in Bogota and why Penelosa lost even after (what is being called as) the transformation of the city. It was indeed good to attend your talk about what has happened after Penelosa's exit from the Mayor office about 10 years back. 


It would be great if you can throw some light on what is likely to happen? What are Petro's policies? This post doesn't portray a very bad picture though: http://mikesbogotablog.blogspot.com/2011/10/bogotas-next-mayor.html 


best,
Rutul

For anyone interested in Bogotá elections, Peñalosa just lost. Our next 
mayor will be Gustavo Petro, 1 Jan 2012-31 Dec 2015. In terms of 
sustainable transport, I doubt we'll make any more progress than what 
has happened in the past 7 years, which is not really positive at all...


Best regards,

Carlos.
