Training course <\/strong>\u201c<\/strong>How can public space be appropriated to reduce inequality?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Medellin-10th-public-space-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In this course, we discussed how interventions into urban public spaces can create multiple benefits for cities, their inhabitants and the relationship between the two: they create the appropriation of public space (causing feelings of belonging, caring relations, community, etc.) and are a way of improving the habitability of public space. We studied examples of urban interventions in Bogot\u00e1, Medell\u00edn, London and New York to identify in these concrete cases the needs, proposed solutions, actors involved and factors to keep in mind in carrying out a successful urban intervention.<\/p>\n

The event included the participation of professors Andrea Burbano and Pablo P\u00e1ramo (Universidad Piloto de Colombia y Pedag\u00f3gica Nacional) who discussed the habitability of public space and delivered a survey with 60 of the more than 100 attendees. At the end, they gave the floor to the attendees to help identify additional elements to remember when thinking about public space, about how to intervene and make it more habitable and enjoyable for all.

Discussion about a non-motorized transport network in Latin America<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Medellin-8th-Bicis-BPR-7-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This event was led by the Universidad de los Andes and the Interamerican Development Bank with the support and participation of Despacio, AMVA and UN Habitat. The objective was to conduct an exploratory consultation with stakeholders to the Latin American bicycle context and to discuss the relevance, functions, activities and priorities of bicycle network in the region.<\/p>\n

We were also able to consult with some stakeholders and bicycle experts about the steps to follow in promoting bicycles in the region, project formulation and the relevance of creating a network.<\/p>\n

This course also presented the activities carried out by the Metropolitan Area of the Aburr\u00e1 Valley with respect to their bicycle promotion programs and the agreement signed with UN Habitat and Despacio\u2019s collaboration in implementing the Safe Route to the WUF, aimed at integrating into this process.
