This article establishes essential items introduced by the urban actors in Bogota, capital city of Colombia, with the aim of achieving its internationalization. The first part inscribes this theme in the framework of globalization, considers the new functionalities and elements that are at stake, and are also an object of rivalry between cities on the world stage. The second part develops, in a neo-institutional perspective, the role played by public and private urban elites and the strategy they have chosen for the city internationalization and its development.
