This article analyzes the Bogota's metropolitan landscape configuration from the high-rise increase in the processes of rebuilding and reurbanization. The first, as a development lot by lot that never update the infrastructure and, the second, as the one that must do it from an urban project. Cartographies, photographs and archival information were used to identify the tallest buildings (more than twelve stories). They was correlated with political, economic, and cultural changes in the rules of land use, and in the ways of seeing and acting on local and global architecture. It was confirmed that vertical growth didn't represent opportunities to compact the city, but to concentrate economic power and the real estate dynamics. And so on, the concentration of most expensive land value, and the technological and design innovations of prestigious architects. While action of rebuilding modifies whole neighborhoods, relatively recent and better urbanistically qualified, pockets of indigence and physical degradation accumulate, urging a reurbanization, apparently unattractive for investors.

Palabras clave : built landscape; urban vertical growth; metropolis; Bogota.
