Barranquillita
Living with the river, again.
188 hectares on the eastern edge of Barranquilla, along the Magdalena River: decayed industrial heritage, informal settlements, obsolete infrastructure and a cut from the centre, despite its proximity to the historic core.
The plan combines a 45-hectare ecological park, soft mobility, the conversion of industrial buildings into cultural hubs, collective and social housing, and educational and local facilities.
The river is treated as an origin, not a boundary: urban design becomes a tool of social and ecological repair.
Entry to the Tony Garnier competition, selected among the top ten proposals presented to the jury.
