About the event

Cali and Medellín (Colombia) have undergone significant urban  transformation over the past twenty years, having to overcome complex  socio-spatial urban conditions and historical legacies. Since the late  1990s, new political postures emerged amongst a selected group of  university professors, who were able to employ their academic  experiences in order to tackle the difficult circumstances of their  respective cities. With a diachronic perspective, this conference will  critically explore their accomplishments, struggles and urban legacy,  while reasoning upon the future of these two Latin American cities.
