| Summary: | The search for a fairer society has been an objective that has occupied an important place inthe urban planning agendas. However, socio-spatial reality reflects a set of injustices thatmaterialize in a population group that ends up being forced to live in areas of the city devoidof opportunities for development. This article gives clues to think that the search for spatialjustice is more related to the identification of existing potentials of a specific context, in thiscase the informal city, and not with the imposition of ideals of justice. In this sense, a researchexperience is presented that focuses on the use of photography as the main observation tool forhabitability based on the perception of a group of children between 6 and 12 years old livingin Bologna, settlement of informal origin, located in the town of Usme, Bogotá D.C. |
