Medellin, Colombia

The city of Medellin has recently been chosen as the Most Innovative City of the Year by Citi, the Wall Street Journal and the Urban Land Institute, thanks to its incredible transformation. 

Amongst the projects taking place in the city there is the creation of 1.6 million square meters of new park space throughout 25 parks and 11 urban promenades, a cable car and public bicycle system, a ride sharing program, an intelligent mobility system (SIMM) and vehicle exhaust emissions control.

In addition to the incredible transformation of the city, Medellin also attracts visitors due to its eternal spring weather as well as its beautiful landscape and endless places of interest to visit.
