This paper analyzes primary and secondary data retrieved from different sources to identify the production of informal urban space (magnitude and growth, agents and supply, demand and State intervention philosophies, resultant space). Findings suggest that the informal urbanization phenomenon still has great incidence in the production of urban space in Bogotá, transcending the city limits. Such a circumstance also allows agents of supply to take advantage of the effective State intervention (legalization) to perpetuate the illegal occupation of land and thus capture added land value, especially given that demand is focused on the informal housing market. This phenomenon will continue unless structural reforms are made to housing policies aimed at low-income families. El mercado informal del suelo en Bogotá es un fenómeno difícilmente mensurable pues la información, dada su naturaleza, es imprecisa, difusa o inaccesible. Este artículo analiza información secundaria y primaria de diversos tipos y fuentes para caracterizar el proceso de producción del espacio urbano informal (magnitud y crecimiento, agentes y lógicas de la oferta, demanda e intervención estatal, tipo de espacio producido). Los hallazgos sugieren que el fenómeno de la urbanización informal sigue teniendo gran peso en la producción del espacio urbano en Bogotá, que está trascendiendo los límites de la ciudad, que los agentes de la oferta toman ventaja de la cada vez más efectiva intervención estatal (legalización) para perpetuar loteamientos ilegales y capturar plusvalías y que la demanda sigue encontrando ventajas en el mercado informal de vivienda frente a la oferta formal, lo que lo convierte en un fenómeno que seguirá vigente si no se transforma estructuralmente la política de vivienda para familias de bajos ingresos.
