Luis Gallo: 麦德林曾经因毒品暴力而臭名昭著,但在20世纪90年代经历了显著的复兴,这与社会城市化项目和警方对贩毒的打击密切相关。然而,近年来,麦德林又面临着新的挑战,例如住房成本飙升、当地居民流离失所以及帮派活动加剧等问题。这些问题与旅游业的快速发展和数字游民的涌入密切相关。我本人也因租金上涨而被迫搬离麦德林。 Roman Mars: 麦德林的复兴得益于社会城市化项目,例如地铁系统和户外自动扶梯的建设,这些项目改善了城市交通,并提升了城市形象。然而,旅游业的快速发展也带来了负面影响,例如士绅化现象和住房短缺问题。此外,Comuna 13等贫困社区的旅游业发展也为当地帮派提供了新的利润来源,加剧了儿童性剥削等社会问题。 J Balvin: 麦德林是一个美丽的城市,值得一游。 Ana Valle: 麦德林的士绅化现象导致当地居民感到不满,大量外国人的涌入改变了社区的面貌,并对当地居民的生活造成了负面影响。 Hampton Rees: 数字游民被麦德林的自然环境、文化和生活方式所吸引,认为麦德林的生活成本低廉。 Luis Fernando González: 数字游民的涌入导致麦德林的租金负担能力危机,并导致当地居民流离失所。 Daisy Flores: Comuna 13的旅游业发展为当地帮派提供了新的利润来源,加剧了儿童性剥削等社会问题。 Ivan Muñoz: 麦德林的未成年人性剥削问题日益严重,帮派利用网络平台将未成年女孩卖淫给外国人。

  • Social urbanism initiatives played a crucial role in Medellin's revitalization.
  • The city's murder rate decreased by at least 80% after implementing these programs.

Shownotes Transcript

Once considered the most dangerous city in the world due to drug cartel violence, by the early 2000s Medellin had reinvented itself. But gentrification is allowing criminal gangs to reap large profits from a shadow economy powered by the tourist boom.
