  • Modernity and Its Anxieties in Cali, Colombia Transportation System
    KEEP IMPROVING: MODERNITY AND ITS ANXIETIES IN CALI, COLOMBIA TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM By Jose Bernardo Castiblanco Montalvo Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisors Prof. Ju Li Prof. Andreas Dafinger CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2018 Abstract The metropolitan areas in Colombia, as well as the metropolitan areas of Latin America, face similar problems related to the urban transport. Despite multiple efforts to promote the use of the MIO in Cali, people are using alternative transport solutions. The present work is a historical approach to understand the multiple processes occurring in the MIO Bus Rapid Transit developed in Cali, Colombia, since the planning for the implementation. In this work, I propose historically informal dynamics have shaped the city building in Cali Colombia. I will argue first, that the implementation of the new urban transport system reflects the historical process of urban planning in Cali. Second, that the city administration depends on their institutional capabilities to respond to the transportation needs within the city. And third, that the governance in Cali, historically requires of informal supply of public services that later are formalize, creating a cycle of informal-formalization that is repeated in the urban planning.

During the past fifteen years Colombia has witnessed a remarkably rapid and dynamic growth in air transport. This period coincides with the establishment and continuous implementation of public policy specifically designed for the air transport sector and airports. Design/methodology: The evolution of air transport in Colombia is evaluated descriptively through the analysis of air transport and socio-economic historical data. The impact of public and investment policies is analyzed through a cause- effect approach. Findings: This paper describes how the air transport/airport industry in Colombia has been directly and positively affected by the implementation of public policies and other legislation, while measuring the effect and impact of this industry on the Colombian economy. Originality/value: This work fills a notorious deficiency in specialized literature concerning air transport in Colombia and Latin America in all its aspects and dimensions. Keywords: Colombia; airports; air transport; airport concessions; Latin America -39- Journal of Airline and Airport Management 5(1), 39-66 1. Introduction Colombian air transport is undergoing rapid and dynamic growth, never before seen in its history, which started approximately 15 years ago.
