Bogotá in the sweet spot

Is Bogotá in an advantageous position to overcome a collision between two or more megatrends? This idea came to my mind while reading “When Megatrends Collide”¹ and thought about when Bogotá was founded. The place was located between the mountains deep inside in the country², way different to any other major city in the world which were founded at the seashore or at major rivers. This created several issues while building a competitive infrastructure. But, what'd happen in a world where the climate is changing, the economic power is shifting and a rapid urbanization is surging? Bogotá may be in a leading position of the opportunities ahead. It’s become a huge hub for air transportation, and a big metropolis with undeniable growth potential, it's located on a place not affected by floods nor near the shores, a global warming may not be as several as in other regions, it has a great and growing tourism infrastructure and it's a destination of choice for retirement. Bogotá may be an opportunity when megatrends collide.
