"The transformation of Medellín’s urban atmosphere with projects like Library Parks, the Orquideorama and the construction of quality schools hasn’t gone unnoticed in Colombia and mayors from many cities have come to observe and take notes.
But it’s not just in Colombia, international publications have also chosen to acknowledge Medellín’s physical transformation which has contributed to changing the city’s negative image with the rest of the world.
This time Mark Magazine of Holland is featuring a 12-page spread filled with articles based on projects like these in communities that were once forgotten, highlighting their design and the people behind them."
