The COVD - 19 pandemic has unleashed a series of important discussions related to the city and the urban, fostering the reflection on problems and challenges that cities currently face. In the case of Medellín (Colombia), the reflection has been focused on challenges that the city had already been facing long before the appearance of the virus, but which were highlighted thanks to the calamity: the delocalization of urban life, the new settlement patterns, the housing deficit, the problems of access to public spaces and the proposals to invert the mobility pyramid. The discussion of these problems continues to be current and of vital importance in the post-pandemic city scenario, because, although the measures adopted are similar, they assume particular shades from local responses to the contingency and its challenges.
