Entretejiendo Cazucá. Espacio público y zonas de oportunidad como estructura organizativa de la comuna

Abstract

In Colombia, there has been a tendency for population growth for the last fifty years, generating rapid, unmeasured and disorganized growth in its urban areas. As a result of this type of unplanned expansion of the cities, the land of the peripheries has been occupied; With settlements of precarious characteristics, where the inhabitants who reach these areas of the city do so because of problems such as violence and armed conflict. On the other hand, these zones that come from the conurbation of the city with the rurality have similar characteristics; Topography or fragmented relief, informal urban growth, lack of accessibility to public services, lack of articulation between their precarious systemic structures (main ecological, functional and service, socioeconomic and spatial) and all the social and spatial problems that this entails. To that the government in 2009 the then president of Colombia Álvaro Uribe Velez starting from a community council obtains the idea to construct the aerial cable in Cazucá, supported and guided by the company Metro of Medellin; From that moment until today the government generated a design proposal for the route and each of the 4 stations of the Aerial Cable for Cazucá, based on the solution of the mobility of the inhabitants of this sector, and the reduction of the times in the transport leaving aside an integral solution that allows to improve the space conditions and to increase the indices of public space, access to service, education, among others. In contrast, it seeks to generate a proposal that structures the public space by articulating the systemic structures of the sector, supporting the mass transportation system aerial cable, thus making it a fundamental part of the landscape and community.
