Medellín's interconnected green corridors

An online article on the green corridors in Medellín, Colombia.

Since 2016, Medellín has created 30 green corrdidors, an interconnected network of greenery across the city. This ambitious initiative adds to and further connects existing green spaces, improves urban biodiversity, reduces the city’s urban heat island effect, soaks up air pollutants, and sequesters a significant amount of carbon dioxide.

The green corridors were implemented across the city after they had been voted on in a participatory budgeting process.
