Through a case study, the configuration of a gentrification process is identified, in Chapinero Locality, and the impacts and social consequences caused by this phenomenon within the territory are analyzed and characterized. The dissimilar socioeconomic conditions of the population, found in the locality of Chapinero, on a land of high income, favored the emergence of a gentrifying process; as a response to the scarcity of urban land, in a high income cone of the city and by the presence of a wide strip of neighborhoods of informal origin, contiguous to that cone; a situation that gives rise to arduous logistical work by private developers to acquire urbanizable land suitable for densification and development in informal settlements strategically located along high income sectors. Pressure and real estate speculation over a wide area of popular neighborhoods in the town of Chapinero has been raging for 20 years, causing the gradual disappearance of multiple settlements, consolidated without discriminating their legal status (formal or informal); being the constructors and the private promoters, the managers of great acquisitions of soil, at very low cost, that later develop in conditions of high profitability. This circumstance entails an analysis of the social consequences that this urban mutation has brought to the communities of the neighborhoods of informal origin of the sector, with the desire to demonstrate the social implications generated by the process of gentrification that lives in the town of Chapinero, showing the socio-spatial mutations created by the soil market and, consequently, possible strategies of social management that favor the mitigation of this urban phenomenon.
