Tactical urbanism in the context of unresolved cities: The case of the city of Barranquilla, Colombia

Abstract

The implementation of tactical urbanism exercises, successful in cities of developed countries, must be questioned in Latin American city contexts, taking into
account that our cities have a different situation, their
population grew and will grow more than cities in the
rest of the world. The concepts of the new global urbanism are based on a discursive of the movements of
constructions but that in the Latin American environment do not have an adaptation process that adapts to
the urban realities of the South American continent ,
and instead, have adopted North American standards.
(Chávez & Badillo, 2017) This article aims to make a
reflection on this issue and support the reasons for this
hypothesis.
