Medellín plants its green corridors
The city created a connected network of vegetated corridors along streams and arterial roads, planting on a large scale in dense, previously unshaded neighbourhoods. The city and its partners report a reduction of about 2°C in the urban heat island over the programme period — a programme-reported result, not an independent attribution study.

Corredores Verdes — Medellín green corridor programme reporting
Supports the statement that Medellín created a connected network of green corridors between 2016 and 2019 and that the city and its partners report an urban heat island reduction of about 2°C. V55 verification basis: this is programme-reported measurement retrieved from case-study and press material, not an independent or peer-reviewed attribution study, and it is cited in this pack only with that qualification stated.
