在“南方”，良好城市治理的例子太少了。1992年后，哥伦比亚首都博戈塔的表现有了显著改善。它加入了模范城市的行列，其前任市长周游世界宣传这一“奇迹”。不幸的是，2008年后，该市政府陷入腐败泥潭，其形象评分大幅下降。到目前为止，现任政府未能恢复人们对该市治理的信任。本文根据对该市主要人物的采访，探讨了博戈塔复苏和最近复发的原因。博戈塔的经验对城市治理的学生很有用，不仅表明“南方”城市如何改善其绩效，而且表明任何改善都是脆弱的。技术官僚和政治家之间良好的工作关系对于保证公众支持和重大公共工程的实施进展至关重要。
There are all too few examples of good urban governance in the ‘South’. One city which improved its performance dramatically after 1992 was Bogotá, the capital of Colombia. It joined the ranks of exemplar cities and its former mayors toured the world advertising this ‘miracle’. Unfortunately, after 2008, the city’s administration became mired in corruption and its image ratings have dived. The current administration has so far failed to revive trust in the city’s governance. Based on interviews with key personalities in the city, this paper examines the causes of Bogotá’s recovery and its recent relapse. Bogotá’s experience is useful to students of urban governance in showing not only how a city in the ‘South’ can improve its performance but also that any improvement is fragile. A decent working relationship between technocrats and politicians is critical in guaranteeing both public support and progress in implementing major public works.
