Tanques de agua
La obra de EPM y la oficina del alcalde en Medellin para cambiar el destino de una ciudad.
Agua, espacio público, y violencia urbana.
(…) In a meeting, the mayor and the director of EPM were trying to tackle the issue of safety and violence in the city. The most dangerous areas of the city were the darker, less illuminated areas identified in a night aerial view of Medellin. Those dark areas happened to be the city's water cistern network. For security reasons (fear of terrorist attacks or poisoning of the water), these areas were entirely disconnected from the neighborhoods where they were inserted. The political and technical decision was to reverse their isolation by transforming them into public spaces, with all the risks that such an operation entailed for the city.
