We build more biodiverse, fair and healthy cities
We transform territories from within — with communities, for communities.
We build dignified territories for those who need them most
We are a non-profit organization founded in Medellín in 2021. We work through nature-based solutions, participatory public-space design, artistic interventions and the strengthening of the social fabric — always alongside communities.
A community-centered process
At La Otra Ciudad we believe that transforming a city starts with seeing it for what it is: a living ecosystem where people, neighborhoods and nature are part of the same fabric. That is where we work from — not to impose solutions, but to regenerate that fabric together with the people who inhabit it.
The four values that guide our design are not loose ideas but pieces of a single way of understanding the city. Click on the diagram to discover more about them.
To promote the sustainable development of vulnerable urban communities, improving their quality of life and dignifying the territories they inhabit
