Enrique Penalosa, Mayor of Bogotá 1998-2001, presents "International Experience: Bogota," from the Urban Age India conference in Mumbai, 2-3 November 2007 (for more details please visit www.urbanage.net)
Urban Age's principal aim is to shape the thinking and practice of urban leaders and sustainable urban development. Initiated by the Cities Programme at the London School of Economics and Political Science and Deutsche Bank's Alfred Herrhausen Society, Urban Age is structured around international and multidisciplinary events and research supporting the creation of a new urban agenda for global cities.
Maybe you have never lived in both Bogota and Paris, but in many ways urban infrastructure and pedestrians' quality of life in Bogota is much better than Paris'

Well this presentation is very clearly intended to show what has been achieved in Bogota. It has nothing to do with underestimating other cities.

I agree that Bogota is much improved, but he makes it sound like there is Amsterdam or Paris level infrastructure. I also find it interesting that he makes no mention of the urban renewal in Medellin. I smell rivalry!
