"Bogota's decision to prioritize "care" as a major stake in its development agenda, placing it at the center of the city's urban planning, is visionary and will allow the city to respond to its challenges, not only today but also in the future. With the Master Plan (POT), the city shows a cutting-edge and transformative possibility of moving from the provision of public services to the provision of care services. It is an innovative change of model that, placing care not only as a city concept but also from a spatial and physical-territorial perspective, is setting an example for the international community to follow.
