The book explores the impact of urban expansion in the Aburrá Valley, highlighting that both informal housing and formal real estate development contribute to this growth. It examines how municipal land allocation for expansion has led to significant morphological changes in urban areas, affecting landscape, social and cultural dynamics, and economic practices. The transformation of peri-urban fringes raises concerns about the implications for environmental protection and agricultural land use, reshaping how communities inhabit and interact with their territory.
