Abstract

El objetivo del presente artículo es estudiar la relación entre el proceso de urbanización del suroriente bogotano, la zona conocida como San Cristóbal, y el tranvía durante las primeras décadas del siglo XX. En la década de 1920 la zona de San Cristóbal era ya un importante núcleo de barrios para obreros. Adquirió tal importancia que fue uno de los puntos centrales de urbanización en el proceso de crecimiento de Bogotá. Aunque desde la década de 1890 existía un proyecto de construcción de un tranvía, sólo hasta 1917 operó el tranvía. La urbanización de San Cristóbal no esperó al tranvía, pero en el momento en que fueron conformándose los nuevos barrios del sector, este medio de transporte se convirtió en un servicio urbano de suma importancia tanto para los habitantes del sector como para los actores que buscaron promover el desarrollo de la zona.
