After Pablo Escobar’s cartel controlled the city for years, Medellín seized the opportunity to “reinvent” itself. Underlying the transformation was the modern transportation system with the Metro de Medellín, cable car and escalators. This connected the comunas in the hills surrounding Medellín to the center and brought the inhabitants out of their isolation.
