Spatial unequality and territorial conflicts in Bogotá: the case of Botadero Gibraltar (1979-2015)

This article studies the processes that led Gibraltar, a property located in the south west of Bogotá, to become between 1979 and 1984 in a place of final disposal of waste and a scene of territorial conflicts. This research is based on Melé’s perspective on territorial transactions and Durand and M...

description This article studies the processes that led Gibraltar, a property located in the south west of Bogotá, to become between 1979 and 1984 in a place of final disposal of waste and a scene of territorial conflicts. This research is based on Melé’s perspective on territorial transactions and Durand and Metzger’s proposal on spatial vulnerability; In addition, it uses various documental sources, including archival documents, interviews, hemerography and secondary bibliography. Based on the documentary corpus and the theoretical apparatus, the article identifies the needs and decisions that led to the destination of Gibraltar as a place of waste disposal in the middle of the urbanization process towards the west of Bogotá and within the framework of changes in the techniques of collection and disposal of waste. The article also investigates how the destination of Gibraltar as a place of waste disposal allowed the development of spatial vulnerabilities that generated conflicts of territorial proximity in which social actors built various forms of organization to assert their interests. In this way, the article proposes that the waste problem on the Gibraltar property is related to the disorderly expansion of the city and the lack of administrative capacity at the municipal level, which allowed the location of formal and informal urbanizations close to the site of waste disposal and generated spatial vulnerabilities that gave way to territorial conflicts of proximity and transactions around the coexistence of urban activities.

Este artículo estudia los procesos que llevaron a Gibraltar, un predio ubicado al sur occidente due Bogotá, a convertirse entre 1979 y 1984 en un lugar de disposición final de residuos y en un escenario de conflictos territoriales. Es una investigación tiene como base la perspectiva de Melé sobre las transacciones territoriales y la propuesta de Durand y Metzger sobre la vulnerabilidad espacial; además, recurre a fuentes diversas entre las que se encuentran documentos de archivo, entrevistas, hemerografía y bibliografía secundaria. A partir del corpus documental y del aparataje teórico, el artículo identifica las necesidades y decisiones que ocasionaron la destinación de Gibraltar como lugar de disposición de residuos en medio del proceso de urbanización hacía el occidente de Bogotá y en el marco de cambios en las técnicas de recolección y disposición de residuos. El artículo también indaga en cómo la destinación de Gibraltar como un lugar de disposición de residuos permitió el desarrollo de vulnerabilidades espaciales que generaron conflictos de proximidad en cuyo marco los actores sociales construyeron diversas formas de organización para hacer valer sus intereses. De esta manera, el artículo propone que el problema de los desechos en el predio Gibraltar está relacionado con la expansión desordenada de la ciudad y con la falta de capacidad administrativa a nivel municipal, lo que permitió la ubicación de urbanizaciones formales e informales cerca al sitio de disposición de residuos y generó vulnerabilidades espaciales que dieron paso a conflictos territoriales de proximidad y a transacciones en torno a la coexistencia de actividades urbanas.
