Description
Summary:This article describes how passages built in San Juan de Pasto in the mid-20th centurywere significant for such city to be considered a modern one. In this setting, the 1945and 1985 development plans designated the passages as public and mobility spaces that would boost business again and connect the main plaza to the periphery. In the early 21st century, issues such as densification, vehicular movement and unemployment became the priorities of the urban approach, relegating the passages to the fantasies of urban planners and architects who idealized another type of city.
