VASQUEZ-GONZALEZ, Juan Camilo  and  ANDRADE-RIVAS, Federico. Expert Construction of lived space in Medellín. Parques del Río Case. Bitácora Urbano Territorial [online]. 2019, vol.29, n.3, pp.109-116. ISSN 0124-7913.  https://doi.org/10.15446/bitacora.v29n3.62833.

Urban transformations require knowledges from different disciplines, however, in reality, many of these projects only take into account technical expertise and distort the knowledge built by the inhabitants of the city. This article adopts Henri Lefebvre's Spatial Triad Interpretation proposal to understand and analyze the processes observed in the mega-project Parques del Río Medellín. To do so, theory and practice were contrasted between those who conceive space and those who live it, with the aims to explore the imbalance of power in which citizens find themselves when making decisions regarding the city planning. The result of this study allowed to perceive a colonization of the lived space and the implementation of a unique vision of the urban space.

Keywords : Henri Lefebvre; space conception; expertise; Medellín; Parques del Río Medellín.
