Description:The concept of childhood has gained strength since the enactment of the rights of children. Infants went from being considered subjects to protection of the State to be subjects of rights. In Colombia, the 1991 Constitution, in the Article 44, in addition to recognizing the rights of children, they are given the status of prevalence over others. With two decades passed, and even earlier, there are numerous policies and actions promoted in the country. In this context, it is particularly important to analyze what happened in Bogotá, a city that is the political capital. It receives the impact of  migration associated with displacement, product of the internal armed conflict, and it significantlypresents the phenomenon of informal settlements. What has happened to the children who live there? Are the conditions of their habitat related to their effective access to their rights? What is done from the territorial planning and housing policies to guarantee the rights of children? That is the reflection proposed in this article.
