Colombia's second city, set in a steep-sided valley and connected by a metro, cable cars, and outdoor escalators, Medellín has transformed its urban fabric through design-led public infrastructure. The cable-car network extends into formerly isolated hillside comunas, providing access to botanical gardens, parks, and panoramic viewpoints. The Botero Plaza in El Centro displays a collection of the sculptor's monumental bronze figures.
