We were born in 2002 as a response to some academic and social needs, we are interested in the regional, urban and environmental dimension integrated of the various disciplines, such as economics, sociology, architecture and engineering in the territories of the Colombian Caribbean. In 2006, the research group has a reorganization process, creating the Gemci Corporation, due to the demands and requirements in the areas of contracting intervention and seeking to improve and enhance the services provided to academics and scientists, based on high quality approaches and self-regulation of knowledge and disciplines, a multidisciplinary team, 100% Colombian who contributed ideas for knowledge in a serious and responsible manner of the different social, economic and political instances in the economic Caribbean governed by the excellence of professional practice in the Caribbean.

Neighbourhood poverty is one of the main problems facing humanity today. In the case of Colombia, poverty has increased consistently over the last four decades, and currently more than half of the population is located below the poverty line. Solving this problem in Colombia is imperative for the government and the nation for economic, social, cultural, ethical and patrimonial reasons. Within the different POTs of the capital cities, programmes have been designed to save and progressively reduce urban informality. With the objective of alleviating neighbourhood poverty, there are other programmes of the national office of Social Action of the Presidency of the Republic in conjunction with other government bodies and NGOs to promote citizen Development and Productivity, which is strongly promoted by the government's political project of democratic security, legitimised in the book Vision Colombia second centenary: 2019. The objectives of this research are, consequently, to analyse the theoretical assumptions of these neighbourhood and citizen poverty alleviation programmes.

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.

The book is of great academic value for presenting research results related to blacks in the cities of the Caribbean since slavery. Concepts are clarified and are available to be applied in the studies and analysis of buildings and urban areas with historical traces left by the intervention of this population group of artisans. It starts from the conception of cabildos and brotherhoods with a cultural sense, where the richness of these organizations was not in the saying and discovering of their folklore, witchcraft, customs, habits, customs and dances of the African descendants; but in the craft of construction and in the values of fraternity. The value of the book is highlighted because of the incipient nature of the subject linked to urban culture and because there are few architects rooted in education who have written the history of the black builder of the buildings and urban structures of our "multicultural and multiethnic Mediterranean", as the author puts it very well. The ethnographic approach allows for a contextualized approach to the document, revealing a rigorous and clear methodological process with the communities involved.

The idea for this book was born after participation in the course on preservation of monuments in the Caribbean area PIC I, held between June - August 1986 in Gainesville-Florida, United States, in which we were left with the concern of collecting somehow related to the general problems that contribute to the deterioration of our colonial buildings in Cartagena. Then arose the need to consider and question the knowledge of what is ours, of the construction problems and their possible solutions, which due to our negligence, has made us appear defenseless before the action of time, the agents that affect the construction process. deterioration of our historical heritage.This need for recognition has been previously reaffirmed by the Puebla Declaration, the Mexican Committee for Monuments and Sites, the University of Puebla, as well as the ICOMOS Committees in Latin America since 1978.

Today the neighborhood of Getsemaní is threatened by the diseases of modern cities, which day by day are deteriorating what was once strong and moving what was once immobile. If there is still the desire to remain in time in this piece of walled land, then it is necessary to make an effort to reconstruct its memory, its history and its reason for being in the future of Cartagena.The interest to undertake this research is preceded by the history of my ancestors, my grandparents, my parents and my brothers, who were and still are an active part of Getsemaní.Within this interest it is necessary to understand that the neighborhood of Getsemaní is not only urban structure, buildings and statistics, it is above them, the people, the family; it is the person who learned to confabulate with the history, with the urban structure, with the architecture, in short, with the space.Santa Fe de Bogotá, February 1993.
