In 2026, Medellín is taking bold action to restore its rivers, streams and watersheds.
Through the Mis Ríos, Mis Quebradas programme, the city is combining ecosystem restoration, nature-based solutions and community engagement to recover strategic waterways and protect vulnerable residents from flooding and climate risk. Alongside this, the Primavera Norte project is embedding sustainable urban drainage and green infrastructure into one of the city’s priority regeneration areas — improving stormwater management, restoring natural water cycles and enhancing public spaces for communities most exposed to extreme rainfall.
