Bogotá - (thanks to Antanas Mockus) - lyrics: Sometimes the spirit of a place regains its moral force, it cleans and claims its rightful share of joy and sanity - wrenches free from dark calamity Bogotá: you're back in focus thanks to Antanas Mockus He fired every traffic cop, rehired some as mimes who stop not only traffic, but bad behavior - like some inspired traffic saviour Bogotá: you're back in focus thanks to Antanas Mockus gave water, sewage, electricity to every slum locality, built libraries and parks and schools and re-established zoning rules Bogotá: you're back in focus thanks to Antanas Mockus He halved the city's murder rate made sure the clubs don't run too late and halved traffic fatality with education in morality Bogotá: you're back in focus thanks to Antanas Mockus He disarmed thugs and rallied kind and gentle folk of civil mind to build a public transport grid while shaming parent from beating kid Bogotá: you're back in focus thanks to Antanas Mockus remade the town's entire soiled landscape & with volunteer patrols closed Sunday roads to rear the biggest fitness program in the world - You're back in focus thanks to Antanas Mockus put in bus lanes and long bike trails and put out corruption - like a fire that once gnawed on one's own entrails is now contained by something higher Bogotá: you're back in focus thanks to Antanas Mockus Antanas went from National Rector who mooned guerillas once on stage to Mayor and people's benefactor who got the rich to ...

Colombia's development has been increasing rapidly through participation of diverse sectors of the community in the creating and implementing of various beneficial social policies. The case of Bogotá is particularly interesting because some of its development strategies have gone beyond borders.

Entry from: Bogota, Colombia Entry Title: "El Museo del Oro - Bogota" Entry: "After arriving in Bogotá, Daniel took me out for a nice dinner and some drinks. The food was amazing and it was nice to catchup with a familiar face. I went to bed pretty early tho as i was wrecked from the long trip and lack of sleep. Wednesday we had a mission, we wanted to check out the Gold Museum, get a mobile phone and contact some people and then organise some Spanish classes. The phone and sim card we picked up for $25 total from the local supermarket and while we waited for them to activate we thought we would check out "El Museo del Oro" (the Gold Museum) It was actually really, really cool and one of the best Museums I've been to. The exhibition is spread across 3 levels and broken down into different displays. The Main exhibit is called 'People and Gold in pre-hispanic Colombia' and displays goldsmith work of the different cultures which inhabited Colombia before the Spanish people arrived; the room is divided into different halls for every culture; Calima, Quimbaya, Muisca, Zenu, Tierradentro, San Augustín, Tolima, Tayrona and Uraba, and a special room called After Columbus (Despues de Colón). The remaining exhibits are called the 'The Cosmos' and 'The Offering'. The first shows the process of Chaman's Ceremony ...

UNICEF: Education provides hope for Colombia's childrenMay 22, 2011
www.unicef.org BOGOTA, Colombia, 16 December 2009 For over 40 years, Colombia has been a nation not only in the throes of conflict, but one consistently hit by natural disasters. In the northern city of Medellín, a strong partnership has been formed around the 'Esculea Busca al Niño(a)' (EBN) ('School Going to the Child') Initiative. Clara Serna has been involved with EBN since its inception and manages the program. "We go to the neighborhoods, we find children that are not in school and we evaluate them. Then we start to talk to the family to find out why they are not in school and then when we find out why, then we start to resolve the problem their own specific problems," she said. Across Columbia, people, parents, teachers, government and non-governmental organizations have consistently seen education as a long-term approach to mitigating violence and better preparing for natural disasters. Tangible solutions that can help heal and restore the country are deeply dependent upon an educated and strong generation of young people. These partnerships and programmes are providing a lifeline to Colombia's children, the lifeline of education.

Entry from: Bogota, Colombia Entry Title: "Bogota, Colombia... the Capitol" Entry: "Here in the countries capitol! This is an absolutely huge city and I am feeling quite small and completely lost. I couldn't believe when I was entering Bogota- the bus crossed the city lines and it still took 25 minutes to get to the bus terminal. The city is THAT big!!! Bogota has some of Colombia's most amazing museums and art galleries and I spent two days touring many of them. So much culture and history in this city... it is quite amazing and certainly a different pace from my last month of hills and mountain living! There were quite a few schools visiting the museums today and it was quite funny because many of the young students were more interested in me than the objects housed within the museum walls! I don't think they often see Japanese American tourists here. Many of the kids took photos of me with their cell phones... it was very silly."

In this filmed interview, Peñalosa elaborates on principles for the good city.During his three-year term as mayor of Bogotá, Colómbia, Peñalosa implemented profound changes which transformed the capital and changed the attitude of its 7 million inhabitants. He massively improved slums, built formidable schools and nurseries, beautiful libraries and hundreds of parks and other pedestrian spaces.

Inspired by the Curitiba model, he created the TransMilenio bus transit system which has been a role model to many cities.
