The Land Use Plan and The Green Corridor in Cali An Urban Transformation Opportunity María Constanza Saade Rivera Architect, M.s. in Urbanism maria.saade@cali.gov.co Colombia
Urban Segregation and Planning Planning in a city like Cali comes with a lot of challenges: high urban segregation, poverty, weak institutional framework, high migration of low income populations. On the other hand, there are a lot of opportunities due to it s geographic and environmental conditions, as well as its underused areas such as the old train corridor. The Land Use Plan or Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial POT, the main planning instrument in Colombia, resumed its revisions in 2014 for the development of an urban and regional transformative project: The Green Corridor or Corredor Verde.

Lessons Learned and Conclusions To overcome urban segregation, linked actions are required. Mobility plays a leading role by giving access to goods and services (mass transit systems, bicycle infrastructure, pedestrian netowrks intermodality). Land use policies and regulations that promote housing developments in areas with access to mass transit and services (jobs, public facilities, public spaces). Create incentives to engage the private sector. Public investments and the private initiative must be guided in the same direction.
