Digitize, Georeference, Visualize and Narrate the City. Land Uses and Urban Order: Bogotá, 1894

Abstract

The article aims to reflect on the humanities, spatial history and some experiences that have combined data, old maps and digital systems for the georeferencing of sources and their visualization on maps. It is argued that these tools and their use in spatial history have great potential to enrich the understanding of the history of the city, not only from the new possibilities in the management and organization of sources, but also through the forms of analysis and collaboration that allow the new scenarios of spatial narratives. This shows both the methodological paths that these tools have opened, as well as the future challenges that they pose to those who want to use them.
