Abstract

Urban projects in Colombia, specially those located in the municipality of Medellín, increasingly reverberate not only in the academic environment and in urban debate, but also attract the attention of tourists and the mainstream média. But what is the singularity of the Colombian case, what are the structural issues that allowed its urban innovations? This research aims to relate the main elements between the conception, operationalization, and operation of urban projects in Colombia. We aim to analyze in detail the decision-making process of urban issues in Colombia and what was the conjunction of specific factors of the Colombian reality that allowed the consolidation of urban projects that are known worldwide today.
