Metro de la 80 (80 Metro) is a strategic project for the City of Medellín whose main objective is to benefit approximately 30% of the inhabitants of the city (around 1 million citizens), through the expansion of transportation opportunities and, as a result, comply with the city’s resilience objectives for improved quality of life of its citizens.
Cities are complex ecosystems, and advancing resilience implicates local and regional governments as well as other stakeholders interacting in the urban space. Those in the private sector – responsible for a large part of the investments in cities – and, of course, the communities representing citizen interactions in the urban space play a crucial role in building resilience.

Cities are home to over half of the global population and account for nearly three quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions, which means no climate target can be met without a deep transformation of urban centers across the globe towards a more inclusive, sustainable and, ultimately, resilient path.
Las ciudades son ecosistemas complejos y el desafío de construir resiliencia implica tanto a los gobiernos locales o regionales como al resto de los actores que operan e interactúan en el espacio urbano. Entre estos, el sector privado -responsable de una buena parte de las inversiones que tienen lugar en las ciudades- y, por supuesto, las comunidades, que son la expresión de las interacciones ciudadanas en el espacio urbano.
