Synopsis

This book aims to outline a theoretical approach to Social Urbanism, so widespread through the “successful” experience in Medellín, Colombia, by Integral Urban Projects (PUIs), especially in the north-eastern zone. Based on the history of Medellín, some important events were discussed that are related to the historical, political and social development of this city's urban policies. The experience that the researcher had in the city of Medellín will be shared, translated into field observations and interviews carried out with public agents, neighborhood residents and other social actors. This work is the result of an internship carried out at the Universidad de Antioquia, in Medellín – Colombia from October 2018 to April 2019, through the sandwich doctorate program in a partnership between the Postgraduate Course in Urbanism at the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas and the group MASO from the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Antioquia, with funding from CAPES, whose research proposal was to investigate and reflect on the urban interventions carried out in the Integral Urban Projects in commune 2 of the Nororiental Zone, in a context of urban policy known as urbanism social situation in the city of Medellín, and the forms of appropriation of public spaces around popular housing. The work was part of the Sandwich Doctorate program funded by CAPES between the period of October 2018 to April 2019, in the research group “Medio Ambiente y Sociedad-MASO” of the Facultad de Ciencias Sociales of the University of Antioquia, with the guidance of Laura Machado de Mello Bueno and co-guidance/supervision of Liliana María Sánchez Mazo (Medellín-Colombia).
