Description: Study of the evolution and expansion of the urbanization process to the west of Bogotá. It is a historical revision that starts from the definition of "ejidio", a concept that in this case refers to the lands that Hispanic American cities owned in the Colony, such as Bogotá, and that were later sold after the liberal processes of 19th century. This book is the account of how large communal lands (or ejidos) passed into private hands and became the current neighborhoods of Bogotá. But it was also in the ejidos of Bogotá that the creation of a new city on the west side, orderly and beautiful, was proposed in 1847; a city that would not become a reality until 1913 when the municipality sought to create the first worker's housing node in Bogotá: the Ricaurte neighborhood and its surroundings. Thus, these pages also present the history of a city project from the 19th and 20th centuries that emerged from the relationship between an early bourgeoisie and a young working class.
