From the analysis of the physical and functional transformations of San victorino’s sector in Bogota’s centre, the author studies the dynamics which have taken part in the construction and configuration of the place, which has been chosen by the roll that has exerted in the development of the city. The objective of the article is to determine how urbanism, perhaps as science, takes part, re qualifies or powers spaces that have undergone deterioration processes, although they are susceptible to transform themselves into permanence places. This article is a summary of the last chapter of the thesis of masters in urbanism that the author presented in 2006, reason why she has received a commendable mention.
