Curiosities and Searches. - Rene Julio Castillo - Bog

The mission of the Urban Culture Observatory attached to the District Institute of Culture and Tourism of Bogota is to promote, in the light of culture, research and periodic and systematized monitoring and dissemination of significant, strategic and priority urban phenomena for the understanding of the city, related to the behavior and attitudes of citizens, in order to contribute and guide public management policies and ethno-citizen actions that lead to the improvement of the quality of life of the city's inhabitants. The city as a cultural product, as the result of multiple and diverse historical, economic, political, social and cultural elements, characterizes and shapes the national being as a whole, which in a fragmentary, spontaneous or motivated way, obeys specific historical factors, both national and international.
