| Title | Keep improving: modernity and its anxieties in Cali, Colombia transportation system |
| Summary | The metropolitan areas in Colombia, as well as the metropolitan areas of Latin America, face similar problems related to the urban transport. Despite multiple efforts to promote the use of the MIO in Cali, people are using alternative transport solutions. The present work is a historical approach to understand the multiple processes occurring in the MIO Bus Rapid Transit developed in Cali, Colombia, since the planning for the implementation. In this work, I propose historically informal dynamics have shaped the city building in Cali Colombia. I will argue first, that the implementation of the new urban transport system reflects the historical process of urban planning in Cali. Second, that the city administration depends on their institutional capabilities to respond to the transportation needs within the city. And third, that the governance in Cali, historically requires of informal supply of public services that later are formalize, creating a cycle of informal-formalization that is repeated in the urban planning. |
