During the last half of century, Bogotá faced processes of urban growth that have affected the ecosystems and lead to the impoverishment of populations on the edge of settled areas. A feasible alternative to social and environmental challenges faced by those living in these areas lies in what research calls resilient communities. This article introduces the concept and describes some proposals that a public policy could include regarding the matter. This is based on a theoretical conceptual review, as well as on the analysis of existing experiences of eco-neighborhoods and eco-villages in Bogotá and Cundinamarca. The main objective is to achieve a better habitat within a specific environment, based on sustainability. Regulations are not the only method for its implementation; for this reason, the paper identifies strategies in three levels: those of top-down character, others in the bottom-up way, and, finally, an articulation between these two through processes of social participation.

Palavras-chave : Human settlements; right to the city; eco-neighborhood; eco-village; public policies; social organization; community participation; Special Planning Administrative Region (RAPE).
