Macro-planning that integrates a city's topography and waterways can transcend mere human infrastructure to foster harmony with nature, resulting in territorial equilibrium and eco-conscious strategies. Medellín, cradled within the vibrant landscapes of the Andean moorlands, rivers, marshy savannas, lakes, and lagoons, showcases a methodology termed "following the water" in this exhibition. Three distinct city layouts at varying scales emphasize land-use planning anchored in water ecosystems.
At the city level, the Land Management Plan of Medellín is featured; at the metropolitan tier, the strategy for the Aburrá Valley is highlighted; and at a broader regional scale, the water-centric initiatives and macro-processes of Antioquia are explored. These macro-level strategies, rooted in nature, craft urban planning around aquatic ecosystems. They emphasize the information systems and land understanding that influence project decisions.
The MDE Urban Lab, having contributed to this initiative, manifests the expansive process of innovative thought and urban interpretation, encapsulated in the design of maps, information platforms, and databases.
