Otra ciudad detrás de la ladera: estudio sobre un programa socioeconómico de la Fundación Carvajal en Cali

This article presents the developments of an intervention program in the mountain slope area surrounding Cali. The program was designed and executed based on the development and knowledge of the community on the part of the Carvajal Foundation. The concepts of social capital and empowerment were used for demonstrating new local and urban development processes and their contribution to a new idea of city in Cali. The program was assessed using methodologies developed by the Inter American Institute for Social Development and Forum Solint. The document provides tools for: dealing with the establishment of new human settlements in the city; designing development strategies; and for formulating and implementing public policies for territorial zoning and citizen participation.
