Meet The Mayors From Around The World Transforming Their Cities

Gustavo Petro (Bogotá, Colombia)

Bogota Mayor Gustavo Petro tries to calm down a group of demonstrators protesting against the public transportation system, in Bogota, Colombia, on March 4, 2014.

As a former guerrilla member of Colombia’s now defunct M-19 rebel group, Gustavo Petro has gained a reputation for challenging the status quo and questioning authority. Following the infamous 1985 guerrilla siege of the Palace of Justice, which resulted in many casualties and "disappearances" of civilians, Petro joined the ranks of the official political establishment by negotiating a peace deal that gave amnesty to the rebel group's members.

After getting elected in 2011, Petro, a leftist mayor, has clashed with the country's more conservative political establishment. The inspector general deposed him earlier this year for alleged constitutional overreach when he tried to replace the city's private trash collectors.

Though Petro was reinstated in April, he is likely to continue sparking debate with his ambitious agenda, which includes facilitating peace talks with the guerrilla group FARC. As The New York Times writes, "some Colombians see [in Petro] the possibility of a nation free of armed conflict, where left and right would limit their fighting to politics." Still, many others in Bogotá criticize him for his style of management, particularly his handling of the trash collection system, and want him removed from office.
