Description
Este estudio tiene como propósito mostrar desde una perspectiva histórico-ambiental, aspectos relacionados con las prácticas higienistas características de la ciudad de Cali durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. Se destacan algunos de los problemas centrales relacionados con esta urbe y con algunas poblaciones aledañas, en un momento histórico en el que se presentaron graves dificultades concernientes al abastecimiento de agua, al sistema de desagüe urbano y a la organización de los servicios de higiene correspondientes a la limpieza pública, la recolección de residuos, y la situación de establecimientos insalubres.
El estrecho vínculo existente entre el discurso higienista y la idea de progreso impulsó la ejecución de propuestas encaminadas al mejoramiento de la potabilidad del agua y la adopción de prácticas en las que este recurso se convirtió en elemento estratégico para la limpieza pública, doméstica y personal. La construcción del acueducto y el alcantarillado representó una vía de solución frente a los requerimientos propios del panorama citadino de comienzos de siglo, en el que resultaba prioritario responder al tema de la salubridad, al avance del crecimiento demográfico, industrial y urbano, y al logro de mejores condiciones de vida para la población.
