Since the mid-twentieth century, the increase in the density of land occupation for residential use is the preferred option as metropolitan expansion to accommodate population growth in Bogota. What are the socio-spatial results of this election? This article presents an analysis of the occupation of Bogota's perimeter that transcends the conventional use of density gradients. If proposes to integrate qualitymeasures of density indices to capture urban inequities population density, public and collective facilities, open spaces and social mix.The calculated rate is proposed as an alternative measure of sociospatial segregation.
