Urbanism






It is still difficult to me decide what my "definitive" area will be. But taking into account the past publication, I would like to do a postgraduate course in urban planning, it is the area that until now I am more interested in, since urbanism is an area that also relates to architecture, it involves the social factor, how people inhabits spaces, how people  inhabits the city and there are a series of phenomena that occur with people, which are important when deciding important changes in cities, we can not ignore people as inhabitants and users of the city.

It is also urbanism a powerful tool when intervening territories that have some important social problem, I give the example of Medellin, Colombia, until a few years ago, was considered the city of drug trafficking and the most dangerous in the world, with deaths all the days because of the drug business. It was really difficult to reverse this situation, but urbanism took the challenge and through tactical urbanism and social urbanism could reverse this bad condition that the city had. These measures aimed at making people feel proud of their city, aiming for the best possible architecture of the new buildings, creating a network that reached all the poorest territories of the city and not concentrating them in a center. Well this is 10% of everything they did.

I put them as an example, so that they would see that social factors of a territory must be taken to confront and reverse certain problems, something can not be done without the participation of citizens, because it is they who will inhabit this improvement.
