Regeneración urbana en torno al nuevo Museo Palacio Nacional

Abstract

The urban regeneration in the center of Medellín, focused around the National Palace, responds to a prevailing need for public space in this area. High population density and intense economic and cultural activity have generated a significant demand for open areas and meeting places. However, the lack of appropriate public spaces has limited opportunities for recreation and social interaction in outdoor environments. The center of Medellín, as a historic and modern epicenter, requires public spaces that not only offer a respite from the urban hustle and bustle, but also foster social cohesion and improve the quality of life of its inhabitants. The absence of these spaces can have a negative impact on the mental and physical health of the population, as well as their identity and sense of belonging to the city. Therefore, the creation and preservation of public spaces in downtown Medellín becomes an essential priority to meet the needs of a diverse and dynamic population. A comprehensive approach to urban planning and citizen participation are vital to ensure that future generations can enjoy a balanced, inclusive and sustainable urban environment.
