Sustainable Development & Transportation: Citizen-led Change
Waste-free film screening, luncheon & discussion
Clowns instead of traffic police. A vaccine against crime. BOGOTÁ CHANGE is the story of two charismatic mayors, Antanas Mockus and Enrique Peñalosa who, with unorthodox methods, in less than 10 years turned one of the world's most dangerous, violent, and corrupt capitals into a peaceful model city populated by caring citizens. The film uncovers the ideas, philosophies, and strategies that underlie the changes in Bogotá which are now being exported to cities worldwide. The film discusses many civic issues related to the development of Bogota, Colombia, as well as sustainability aspects such as public transportation. (English and Spanish soundtrack with English subtitles.)
