Produktbeschreibung

From the mid twentieth century, the main characteristic of urban development in Latin America's metropolis has been the rapid city expansion due to internal migration. The reasons vary according to each country but the trend is common and ongoing. In most cases, this city growth has not been regulated, supervised nor even planed by governments resulting in the proliferation of slum areas in the cities' periphery. The current project takes as starting point the politics of urban renewal from the city of Medellin, Colombia and aims to implement a pilot project of flexible housing and neighborhood improvement. In addition, it will provide environmental recovery of the surroundings and allow a transformation of the geographic limit into a self-sustainable threshold, capable of solving the current needs of the inhabitants and delivering a proper response to the expansion of the city. Anticipating the occupation of the hillside, Medellin's natural border.
