This document discusses a pilot project in Medellin, Colombia called "Despacio - equitable transport" that aimed to create a safer route for walking and biking to the World Urban Forum conference through community participation and road space reallocation. The project involved governmental agencies and the private sector working with community volunteers to paint the roads, add planters and flowers, and set up bike parking. It is estimated to have reduced CO2 emissions during the forum week while increasing equity, employment opportunities, and integration among different groups. The organizers reflected on whether the project achieved its goals of participation, equity, employment, inclusion, and co-benefits like health and road safety.
