Villa Olímpica Medellin

Abstract

Currently the city of Medellin has a lack of sports urban spaces suitable for the development of activities, despite having a large budget for sport and large development plans such as the green belt, parks of the river, metropolitan area, metropolitan, zonal and partial plans that contemplate the social, cultural and economic development of the city. However, at the sporting level they do not envisage complementary plans or development plans for the proper infrastructure of these areas, because the residual areas of the city are considered as urban, sporting or recreational spaces and scenarios, establishing also the dotening elements of the neighborhood parks such as (bars, courts, administrative headquarters, etc.). Resulting in an inventory that includes 886 scenarios, of which there are 5 sports units with an approximate enactment of 12 semi-appropriate and adequate scenarios, as well as the location of these areas has left out the creation of these spaces in low-income sectors. Making it clear that the city has minimum areas suitable for the development of such activities, thus presenting problems of coverage, infrastructure, scale and connection between such sporting scenarios, within a sedentary community. As a result, the need arises to generate an Olympic sporting urban space, implementing sport in the municipality as an instrument of urban, economic, cultural, social and environmental development increasing competitiveness and responding to needs of the sector, in support of improving the physical and mental health of its inhabitants by providing greater coverage of public sports areas
