Abstract

Redevelopment as a constant process of interior reform of the city seen from the trajectories of contemporary urban planning policies show important dynamics since the last century according to the forms of urbanism that produce them. The objective of this article is to study the regulation and management models that have guided the redevelopment processes (overlapping and densification) in the center of Medellín between 1959 and 2022 under the different forms of urban regimes -developmentalist and neoliberal-, from an approach geo-historical theoretical-methodological with a qualitative approach. As a result, two geo-historical periods of urban planning in Medellín are reconstructed to characterize and analyze the different models of planning, management and financing of redevelopment processes, and their spatial implications and housing provision in the center of the city. city. Finally, the discussion is in the current redevelopment model that is deployed under the logic of a typology of strategic planning with a mercantilist perspective that, despite the regulation and financing strategies that have been sophisticated since the mid-nineties, have not achieved a significant provision of commercial and social housing in the center of the city.
