Description
Cuando Cali fue elegida para ser la capital del departamento del Valle del Cauca sufrió una serie de transformaciones urbanas encaminadas a realizar el proyecto moderniza-dor de las élites. La iluminación eléctrica de las calles y plazas fue la bandera principal de este proceso, en el que los usuarios del servicio participaron activamente a través de sus quejas, reclamos y recomendaciones. Gobierno municipal y usuarios del co-mún estaban de acuerdo en la necesidad de derrotar las tinieblas, manto encubridor de peligros y seres perversos, por lo que realizaron una especie de acuerdo tácito de intereses para sacar adelante el proyecto.
