Walking and tactical urbanism in Medellín

Explore tactical-urbanism interventions by neighborhood and published status. Compare them with the 2014 plan’s reference pedestrian network, distinguishing segments marked existing or proposed in that plan.

Explore these layers ↗

These are inventories and planning maps, not checks of walkable sidewalks, completed works or accessible routes. The tactical-urbanism service declares no review date and retains one unverified construction-year value of 2028. The pedestrian network includes connections outside Medellín; its records are dated December 17, 2014.

How to use it

How to use the map

  1. Open the prepared query for this theme in the viewer. Search a neighborhood or enter coordinates as latitude, longitude.
  2. Review enabled layers in the theme and zoom in. Detailed layers require a close scale to keep queries bounded.
  3. Select a feature on the map or in the Results list. Check its attributes, retrieval time and any partial-result notice.
  4. Choose a field and exact value to filter the layer. Export includes received results, with attribution and dates. Its coverage depends on the query scope and filters.

Sources, dates and limits

Each source’s verification date appears in the table. Retrieval time is not the data update date. Small city-wide layers use the full extent; larger layers depend on the visible area. Reference publications retain their original retrieval date. Each page contains up to 500 features: up to 2 MiB for external services and 4 MiB for local publications. Reference publications load matching pages, up to 5,000 features and 8 MiB per query. External services may return partial samples, identified in the viewer.

Layer and sourceData dateReuse
Sidewalks · municipal inventoryDistrito Especial de Ciencia Tecnología e Innovación de Medellín · GeoMedellín · Consulta GeoSAT por extensión visible al servicio municipal en WGS84

The service publishes 42,965 sidewalk traces with element and segment identifiers but no declared names or domains. Zoom in to query up to 500 records per area; results may be partial. Geometry and digitized order do not establish walking direction or a continuous route. The source declares no update date or verifiable units for width, height or length, so those values are not shown. This inventory does not establish current continuity, ramps, slopes, obstacles, safety or accessibility. The service declares no specific reuse license.

Tactical urbanism · published interventionsDistrito Especial de Ciencia Tecnología e Innovación de Medellín · GeoMedellín · Adaptación GeoSAT: selección y nombres de atributos; categorías de dominios y leyendas oficiales; geometría WGS84 del servicio, sin simplificación, con al menos siete decimales

120 intervention polygons published by the Human Mobility office. “Consolidado”, “Para consolidar”, “Para mantenimiento” and “Para retirar” describe the inventory, not a current inspection. Construction years remain categories: 119 records state 2016–2019 and one states 2028; that anomalous value is not corrected or treated as proof of a future project. No review date, impact measurement or accessibility assessment is declared. The service declares no specific reuse license.

Reference pedestrian network · 2014 planDistrito Especial de Ciencia Tecnología e Innovación de Medellín · GeoMedellín · Adaptación GeoSAT: selección y nombres de atributos; categorías de dominios y leyendas oficiales; geometría WGS84 del servicio, sin simplificación, con al menos siete decimales

1,314 segments from the pedestrian-network service, with published categories such as circuits, connectors, footpaths and roads. The source includes regional connections outside Medellín: these are not 1,314 sidewalks exclusive to the district. Every record has adoption and update dates of December 17, 2014; “Existente” and “Proyectado” describe that plan. Planning intent does not certify ramps, pedestrian continuity or current reduced-mobility access. No safe routing is calculated. The service declares no specific reuse license.
