With a population of eight million, Bogotá is one of the largest cities in Latin America and a growing international center for business and culture. This Capital District of Colombia is leading the country in the development of new mixed-use commercial buildings and transportation infrastructure.

Arup is helping to transform Bogotá through our global expertise and multidisciplinary service offerings, including technical and socio-environmental advisory, integrated planning, and rail and energy consulting. Through our work in Bogotá and beyond, Arup has become a well-recognized contributor to the infrastructure market in Colombia. 

Across Colombia, Arup has completed a large portfolio of major projects that showcase our dedication to shaping the built environment. We have worked on several important infrastructure projects in the transportation sector, including upgrades to the El Dorado Airport. Arup also served as the lenders’ technical advisor to finance 16 fourth-generation road concessions, seven of which are currently under construction. More recently, Arup conducted a comprehensive analysis to implement PPPs in the Colombian rail sector; performed value engineering and viability design for a Light Rail System in Medellín; and contributed masterplanning to the Connecta 26 business ecosystem.
