## About this plan

Can you picture walking through Bogota without leaving a room? The Manual of Impossible Cities series does just that. It invites you to look at the capital through other voices, memories, and stories.

Across several sessions, the program mixes short readings, imagined walks, and writing exercises to explore the city beyond its well known places. It opens up invisible neighborhoods, stories that rarely get told, and cities that do not exist yet.

It is a different kind of plan for anyone who wants a free cultural experience in Bogota, with literature as the starting point and imagination as the tool.

- Short readings and imagined walks through the city
