Frontera dinámica: contraste urbano rural en el Borde oriental de Medellín Colombia

The eastern urban expansion edge of Medellin, Colombia, is given by environmental protection zones and the border with the Santa Elena Village. However, this delimitation is ambiguous between what has been raised in the current Territorial Ordering Plan and what is in reality: The El Pacifico neighborhood. The last settlement of this border has even begun to expand to the protection zone and to rural-use soils. There exists a clear distance between what is raised and what is seated in the planning instruments, with what is interpreted or perceived by the community, who inhabits the territory in question. There is a rural urban contrast given by the dynamics posed by bordering actors.
