A perpetuation of social inequity has manifested in the expansion of informal settlements, along Medellin’s urban periphery and within ecologically sensitive zones of the city.
Though recent efforts evidenced through Social Urbanism have sought to ameliorate conditions of inequity, an integrative methodology for social and environmental repair is yet to emerge.
This project explores models for social and environmental repair through the lens of hydrology in the city of Medellín. Social Urbanism concepts and practice provide a basis for this research and design project, with the project looking to build upon them through the development of a socio-ecological framework. The objective is to formulate a systemic response through design and planning concepts which seek to consider the interconnected social, ecological, political, and economic issues of the city, while strongly embedding participatory processes to foster socially responsive design outcomes.
This project explores the application of this methodology through the creation of a series of conceptual design strategies for on-the-ground interventions which will form the nexus of future pilot projects developed with local community leaders in Medellín.

A perpetuation of social inequity has manifested in an expansion of informal settlements along Medellín’s urban periphery, and within ecologically sensitive zones of the city. This paper explores an emerging methodology for social and environmental repair through the lens of hydrology, positing the application of an eco-systemic perspective of landscape-led design interventions that seek to recalibrate the foundational relationship between human and nature. The objective is to formulate a systemic response through design and planning initiatives which consider the interconnected social, ecological, political, and economic characteristics of the city, while strongly embedding participatory processes in an effort to foster socially-responsive design outcomes.
