La Candelaria is where the global pilot of the Participatory and Inclusive Land Readjustment (PILaR) is taking place. The pilot is a joint initiative of Medellin’s Institute of Housing and Habitat (ISVIMED), Medellin’s Department of Planning and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), whose officials accompanied the visit.
At a global level, the PILaR project is developing a methodology to help apply participatory and inclusive land readjustment in low or middle income countries. It is believed that a new approach to land readjustment, more participatory in the process and inclusive in the outcome, can help low and middle income cities grow in a more equitable and sustainable manner and therefore ensure that everybody in small and big cities can live in dignity.
