ABSTRACT
The article problematizes the relationship in Bogotá between the distribution of socioeconomic groups according to their quality of life and the distribution of trees, as evidence of environmental injustice. From the territorial analysis of Bogotá's urban structure, quality of life indicators are calculated which are related through the use of econometric techniques with the distribution of trees in the city. It is found that the characteristics of the urban model of Bogotá present a close relationship between the spatial patterns of socioeconomic segregation of the population with low quality of life and low distribution of trees per person. It is concluded that the city presents a condition of environmental injustice at a spatial level, to the benefit of populations with greater urban living conditions.
