Public Space Open for Submissions

Living Street

FutuMed hosts some of Medellín's most important science, technology, and innovation institutions, but the streets connecting that knowledge with neighborhood life have been left empty.

This challenge seeks urban, technological, and community driven solutions that give the streets back to the people: initiatives that reactivate the use of public space through urban design strategies that invite people to inhabit, not just pass through, connecting the district's institutions with the surrounding neighborhood.
