Parks, Bikeways & Open Space in Bogotá.
Made by StreetFilms (9:58 min)
Gil Penalosa, Executive Director of Walk and Bike for Life and former Commissioner for Parks, Sports and Recreation in Bogota Columbia, leads Clarence Eckerson Jr. of Streetfilms, Karla Quintero of Transportation Alternatives, and Aaron Naparstek of Streetsblog around Bogota's parks, streets and trails. Residents discuss the social integration and economic boom that has resulted from Bogota's transformation into a city that focuses on pedestrians, cyclists, and public space. Today, Penalosa says, a person could not be elected to the smallest ward of the city without making parks, open space and bicycles and pedestrian issues a major part of their campaign.
