MEDELLÍN, CITY INHABITED BY LIFE

Medellin, a city for life and equality

The developmental process which Medellín has been undertaking in recent years is deeply rooted on the construction of a city and citizenship for life, a more human, freer, fairer and happier city.

Life and equality are at the center of our daily work as collective purposes that allow us to build a better society in which everyone partakes in the solution of problems. We in turn commit to the fundamental principles of non-violence, innovation, participation and transparency.

Nonviolence as a lifestyle - rather than a word - invites us to seek solutions to the normal conflicts which arise in everyday life. Innovation makes part of this process in that it helps create opportunities find solutions to the problems of the city. Medellin is currently renowned as the most innovative city in the world; this recognition is in line with our ability to make progress and create potential.

It is also quintessential for our Administration that the community be empowered to decide how to invest the resources to develop their territories, through collective participation and transparency as the guiding thread of this government. We understand that this is the only way to get our

citizens to continue making progress in co-responsibly building their future.

This report presents, after more than two years of our government, the most important results from the progress of our administration’s flagship programs; this has required a major joint effort of different institutions and areas within the municipality, as well as other social sectors involved in its development.

It is our most sincere hope that, upon reading this report, everyone becomes familiar with the progress of initiatives such as UVAs - Unidades de Vida Articulada – Articulated Life Units. This initiative will encourage citizen meeting around culture, sports and participation. We have given momentum to new sports, for instance, through the Adrenalina program; these are the achievements of Jornada Complementaria (long educational shift), which allows children and young people to spend their free time in a productive fashion. Additionally, the home primary care we provide to the most vulnerable people with our health home program is another initiative, as is overcoming poverty in over 8000 families with Medellín Solidaria and the achievements of our public policy which pursues security and coexistence and delivers results. Projects the likes of comprehensive intervention of the Centre as well as the beginning of major projects such as Circunvalar de Medellin – Cinturón Verde Metropolitano, Parque del Río Medellin, the Integrated Transport System and the Naranjal Partial Plan, among many others, are to be

highlighted.

Our gratitude also goes to Fondo Medellín Ciudad para la Vida Fund, which we created with the resulting funds of the strategic alliance between UNE – Millicom. The city shall have 1,4 billion Colombian pesos to invest in major programs for life and equality, as well as aspects of education and culture, safety, health, social inclusion, mobility and sustainability.

So that impact of our interventions can be measured, we have classified our tasks by interrelated thematic managerial sectors, just as we organize the management of secretariats and decentralized agencies in the process of modernization of the Municipality of Medellín, as follows: • Medellín School City. Culture, Education, Participation, Recreation and Sports.

• Medellín Home. Health, Inclusion and Family.

• Medellin - more security and life.

• Sustainable urban management. Habitat, Mobility, Infrastructure and Sustainability.

• Medellín Innovation City. Economic development, internationalization and Public - Private Partnerships.

• Medellín – Territory of Life. Land management, good governance and citizen participation.

These sectors help us coordinate, streamline and make more effective our administration’s daily work, and thus expand the coverage and impact of our programs and projects for which this city life offers advancement opportunities to all its inhabitants.
