Abstract
Residual spaces are one of the many shades of urban decay and segregation in a city, they are evident lack of vitality in the urban life. The logical consequence of fragmenting processes in urban contexts, derived in this case from mobility infrastructure. Mobility infrastructure is the physical mean of interrelated systems that interconnects the urban fabric, allowing displacement and organization between physical spaces in a territory. What happens to a city when this modern idea of mobility inherited from the 20th century, that now shapes all our industrialized urban contexts around the globe, outshines all the rest? That which is more favorable to motorized vehicles, consumption and rapid growth. This massive, asynchronously superposition of mobility enablers (highways, roads, metro lines, massive means of transportation, etc.) in most cases tent to have a fragmenting impact in a local scale, especially when conceived as an independent agent, that have little to do with the local scale.
But rather as a direct component of planning, regulations, and the idealization of the city as a result of an “orthodox urbanism” (as Jane Jacobs would describe it in her book “The death and life of great American cities”.) These residual spaces derived from large mobility infrastructure are common phenomena in the expanded center of Bogotá in Colombia
