| Riassunto: | Urban renovations in Medellín have become a model for Latin America. The integrated project of complementary transport to the metro (especially, cable cars) and new cultural facilities (especially, public libraries) allowed the State to improve the quality of life in the informal areas of the city. However, by centralizing the management of mobility through large urban scale infrastructures, it is observed that existing self-organizing systems are gradually replaced or overlaid by the State renovation project. It is therefore important to understand that this new “presence” (spatial and institutional) of the State implies the modification of local power systems, in addition to the possibility of urban mobility and access to public services. This article analyses the spatial and territorial cultures of the Metrocables and Library Parks. It discusses, finally, how these space cultures of access and visual domain to/from the urban territory imply in different forms of power in the city. |
