Distrito launches Bogotá to Cielo Abierto 2.0 portal, a digital tool to promote economic recovery

The district administration launched this Saturday the portal 'Bogotá a Cielo Abierto 2.0', a digital tool that will find all the details of this strategy that seeks to promote economic recovery in the capital.

Those interested in the city's gastronomic sector will be able to access the website: https://www.dadep.gov.co/a-cielo-abierto through which they can guide them through the registration process for this program to revitalize environments, while commercial activities are carried out in public spaces.

“Members of the gastronomic sector interested in being part of 'Bogotá a Cielo Abierto 2.0' already have at hand the tool that will allow them to be aware of the new developments in the strategy and be guided in the registration process,” Bogotá told the Mayor's Office.

The district administration also indicated that this program was transformed into an institutional initiative, which is led by the secretariats of Government and Security, which seeks to improve levels of coexistence, security and appropriation of public spaces.

In order to promote the reactivation of the city's gastronomic sector, this strategy seeks to call on all establishments that accredit the technical and health requirements to access the commercial extension of businesses in the public space of strategic areas of the capital.

This strategy, which was implemented during the covid-19 health crisis to promote economic reactivation in the capital, began its implementation in the town of La Candelaria in central Bogotá in April 2022, as an initiative that will be part of the city's programs.

This was confirmed by the Secretary of Government, Felipe Jiménez Ángel, who indicated that this decision is included in the District Administration Decree 070 of 2022, which gives free way to the implementation of this initiative that seeks the revitalization of public space through the use by the commercial sectors and citizens.

“The initiative seeks to enable pedestrians and traders to share public space, while promoting the social inclusion of the vulnerable population, allowing the organized development of their activities to informal vendors and street artists and through the formalization of this population's work,” said the Secretariat of Government of the capital.

The official also announced that the heritage recovery team will begin its activity in the town of La Candelaria, which is made up of women and young people who live in this sector of the city center, who will have the responsibility of being guardians of the heritage, while announcing that after 28 years this town “will recover the Casa del Zipa, a heritage of the entire town, which will be dedicated to cultural activities, complying with biosecurity measures”.
