La ladera + la vivienda. Espacios de cohesión social en relación calle-vivienda, vivienda-ladera

Abstract

In recent years, the Medellin’s Town Hall has completed a number of important social projects with the goal of improving the living condition for the population. Projects like schools, libraries, sports centers, units of articulated life, have had their place primarily in the middle to lower class neighborhoods where the majority of the population has been displaced. Equally, the formation of theTerritorial Organization Place- TOP 1999, that propose to “develop a compact, polycentric urban development”, projects have been implemented at the height of the relocation of the population located in areas of unrecoverable high risk. For the low-income sectors, the solutions have been concentrated on the Pajarito sector of Comuna 7, Moravia - Comuna 4 and Miraflores - Comuna 9. Only a few solutions for housing have been developed in Comuna 3, a location chosen to develop a project with social housing, that includes housing and spaces for the development of different social and economic activities. All of this was based on the theme presented for the development of the thesis, Architecture for Reconciliation.
