This 11,200 sq mi bottom up urbanism proposal targets Bogota Colombia a capital city with 5.5% annual urbanization rate. Traditional planning fails due to political inconsistencies so the project empowers residents to co create downtown via crowdsourcing web and radio and crowdfunding. Partnering with innovators like Gary Hack and PSFK the platform gathers public feedback. BD Bacatá exemplifies success with over 3,500 investors contributing 200 million dollars making it Colombia’s largest skyscraper and a global crowdfunding record holder.

We envisioned a new Bogota via four scenarios, click through the slides to view their content, as well as to view Winka's TED Global Talk (2013). Below the credits, is a selection of publications on this work.
