1 Planning for Mobility and Socio-Environmental justice ? The Case of Medellín

The aim of this chapter is to examine how the issue of transport mobility can contribute to the debates about the relationship between resilience and environmental justice. It will do so through the case of the Metrocables, the world’s first modern urban aerial cable-car linked to a mass-public transportation system. This was implemented in the early 2000s in Medellín, Colombia’s second largest city, with some 3.5m inhabitants.
