It also analyzes other characteristic aspects of this sort of Latin American urban processes as: the participation of social agents in the origin and formation of informal settlements and the processes of consolidation of the urban units and informal origin-low income housing in the cities of Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Barranquilla, Cartagena, Bucaramanga Manizales, Pereira, Ibagué and Cúcuta. Some of the existing conditions of public services and social equipment operation are indicated too, as well as the ways of participation of social agents in its construction and operation within the informal city; aspects relative to the quality of life represented in the socio-economical conditions of inhabitants and the ways of obtaining, financing and construction of housing and improvement of urban units are related. Consequently, an emphasis on problems of mobility and forced-displacement and its impact on urban instances and on the configuration of the informal city is made in order to present elements that let to identify the communities’ cultural attitude towards city, urban units and environment. Finally, the main environmental problems generated by the implantation and development of these urban units and the environmental situation are recognized in the Colombian informal establishments. |

Este artículo presenta de manera sucinta los resultados del análisis y la caracterización de los procesos de formación, transformación y consolidación urbana en barrios de origen informal desde la década de los noventa, en las diez principales ciudades de Colombia. Analiza la participación del Estado, la comunidad y la iniciativa privada como agentes sociales, y las interacciones que existen con los componentes de la estructura económica, jurídico-política e institucional como totalidad social integrada a la ciudad. Presenta, así mismo, otros aspectos característicos de los procesos urbanos latinoamericanos como son: la participación de los agentes sociales en el origen y formación de los asentamientos informales y los procesos de consolidación de los barrios –unidades urbanas–; la vivienda de bajos ingresos de origen informal en Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Barranquilla, Cartagena, Bucaramanga, Manizales, Pereira, Ibagué y Cúcuta; aspectos relativos a la formación de los asentamientos. También se señalan algunas de las condiciones de funcionamiento de los servicios públicos y los equipamientos sociales existentes, las formas de participación de los agentes sociales en su construcción y funcionamiento dentro de la ciudad informal, y se relacionan aspectos relativos a la calidad de vida representada en las condiciones socioeconómicas de los habitantes y las formas de obtención, financiación y construcción de la vivienda y relacionados con el mejoramiento de los barrios de origen informal. Se hace énfasis en los problemas de movilidad y desplazamiento forzado y su impacto en los ámbitos urbanos y en la configuración de la ciudad informal; presenta elementos que permiten identificar la mentalidad y la actitud cultural de las comunidades frente a la ciudad, las unidades urbanas y el medio ambiente, y reconoce los principales problemas ambientales generados por la implantación y el desarrollo de estas unidades urbanas en los asentamientos informales colombianos. Todos estos elementos se revelan en relación a las dinámicas y problemáticas detectadas en torno al proceso de urbanización en Colombia.
