The present work is the result of a documentary type investigation on the legality of public investment through the intervention with public works in the antebellum located in the city of Bogota, which involved the elaboration of a methodological design and a Documentary revision for its development and elaboration based on the Colombian legal system in relation to the administration, maintenance and economic use of the public space. In compliance with the constitutional mandate, for the capital district, it has become necessary to have a normative body that regulates, in a systematic way, the generation, financing and management of public space in the area of its jurisdiction: Being this the object of study of the In the present work, this one focused on the analysis of the state investment in the commercial axes of the city, starting from the approach of the basic components in which methodological, legal and technical aspects are presented, generating in this way some approximations By way of recommendations that synthesize the possible economic and administrative function of the private and the public about this subject. The Mayor, as the highest authority of the district administration, issued Decree 290 of 1999 as a strategy for the recovery and maintenance of public space, authorizing the intervention of the zone of antebellum in the commercial axes of the Capital District as integral elements of the Public Space. At the same time, through the above mentioned decree, the owners of the farms were obliged to avail themselves of three types of intervention, where all of them are presumably taxable for the owner, since he is the owner of the domain. Thus, there is no clarity on the legality of the charge that the State makes after its intervention in privately owned properties because Decree 290 of 1999 only imposed charges without legal justification, leaving large regulatory gaps over the whole issue of intervention in the antebellum of private lands, but destined for public use.
