Urban planning and landscape

It is in urban design and planning where an immense fabric of social, economic, cultural, environmental relationships, among others, converges. That is why urbam is responsible for being a bridge between the urban and the environmental, generating spaces for relationships between humans and nature, but always under the social logic of the common good of cities.

Environment and Urban Ecology

In cities it is no longer possible to talk about ecology and urban development as separate axes; today's cities need a fusion or mutual support of these two disciplines. Urban ecology is based on identifying, working on and minimizing the socio-ecological impacts experienced in the territory, which is why centers like urbam are responsible for putting these problems on the table to develop projects for the environment.

Master in Urban and Environmental Processes

The Master's Degree in Urban and Environmental Processes was founded in 2014. The postgraduate methodology proposes a critical look at specific experiences that have occurred in different territories, especially in the region of Antioquia. The emphasis of the program is transdisciplinary studies and emerging territories. Case studies have been the northeastern area of ​​the city, the center of Medellín, the Bello Oriente neighborhood, among others.

Furthermore, it studies the period in which participatory management mechanisms, transdisciplinary work, mediation spaces, construction of citizenship, strengthening of local institutions and trust in the public were introduced. The master's degree addresses complex processes and projects in urban and territorial contexts, particularly in emerging, informal and conflict zones. From architecture, urban planning and landscape, it deals transversally with the environmental dimension, public management and the social component.[5]​.

Josep Bohigas has been a guest professor of the Urbam Master's Degree on several occasions. He is an architect from the ETSAB (UPC), he completed his AAD master's degree at Columbia University and an Official Master in Communication and Design from the Pompeu Fabra University. He currently serves as director of the Barcelona Regional agency) and the Urban Ecology Agency of Barcelona. In the Master's degree he has led several instances of the Arquitectos de Cabecera project.[6]​[7]​.

Undergraduate in Urban Design and Habitat Management[8]​

The undergraduate degree, which began in 2020, seeks to promote the well-being and sustainability of territories and cities. This is achieved through a methodology focused on collaborative work, harmony with nature, new technologies and the commitment to propose and influence a better world.

Medellín: environment, urban planning and society[9]​

Editors: Michel Hermelin Arbaux"), Alejandro Echeverri Restrepo") and Jorge Giraldo Ramírez").

The founding book of the Center collects knowledge about the city from multiple aspects. It also exposes the concept of social urbanism, which is an axis in urbam's work.

BIO 2030. Medellín Valle de Aburrá master plan[10]​

BIO 2030 is a proposed master plan for the Aburrá Valley Metropolitan Area, of a strategic nature. He, under the concept of urbanism and sustainable territorial planning, expands the horizon of urban planning. The text arises from an invitation from the management of the Metropolitan Area and the Mayor's Office of Medellín, through Metropolitan Agreement 013 of 2011.[11]​.

Re-inhabit the hillside / Shifting ground[12]​

The text includes a project that is part of one of the lines of research proposed by the Bio 2030 Plan. It seeks to offer tools and guidelines on the commitment to develop a logic of occupation of the territory, with the re-densification of the river and a hillside architecture that allows re-inhabiting the edges in an integral way.

Comprehensive municipal plans for Urabá[13]​

The publication attempts to describe Urabá Antioquia from different perspectives: first, it identifies the system of cities that follow the road to the sea and the Atrato River as axes of the territory. Second, the dynamics of the regional development pole (Turbo "Turbo (Antioquia)") - Apartadó – Carepa and Chigorodó) are analyzed on a regional scale; and third, Comprehensive Municipal Plans are proposed in each municipality, which seek to identify operating dynamics and aspects to be prioritized in the definition of projects to be developed.
