Ciudad Verde, Residential development in Soacha, Colombia
Ciudad Verde is a residential neighborhood in Soacha that stretches between 10th Street and Diagonal 38, and between Carreras 24 and 40. The area borders Bogota's Bosa district to the north and includes several shopping centers, a clinic, and public transit connections.
The land was part of a Bosa indigenous reservation until 1875, when Soacha municipality was established. This earlier period continues to shape the geographic and administrative boundaries of the neighborhood today.
The neighborhood's districts are named after plant species, showing how residents connect their living space with the natural world. This naming choice shapes how people identify with and talk about their daily surroundings.
The neighborhood is easy to navigate, with shopping centers and a medical clinic spread throughout the area. Public bus lines connect it directly to Soacha and Bogota, making travel straightforward.
Within the neighborhood lies the Chucuita wetland, which contains pre-Hispanic rock paintings from ancient settlements. These archaeological traces remind visitors that people lived here long before modern construction arrived.
