Das Institut für Städtebau der TU Graz präsentiert in Kooperation mit dem Lateinamerikanischen Institut und dem Haus der Architektur Graz einen Vortrag von Jorge Pérez Jaramillo, dem ehemalige Planungsdirektor der Stadt Medellín.
Pérez Jaramillo gibt Einblicke in die urbanen Transformationen, die sich in Medellín (Kolumbien) in den letzten Jahrzehnten ereigneten: Von einer Stadt in der Krise entwickelte sich Medellín zum Vorzeigebeispiel der Stadtentwicklung. Partizipative Stadtplanung und Gestaltung von öffentlichen Räumen sowie die Entwicklung von Infrastrukturen werden dabei aktiv als „soziale Werkzeuge“ benutzt.
