In this episode, we sit down with Laura, a local tour operator from Zippy Tour, to explore the powerful transformation of Comuna 13, one of Medellín’s most iconic neighbourhoods. Once marked by violence and conflict, Comuna 13 has become a symbol of hope, resilience, and creative expression.

Through Laura’s firsthand insights, we uncover how the neighbourhood has evolved—thanks to grassroots movements, street art, music, and innovative urban projects. She shares what it means to walk through Comuna 13 today, how tourism plays a role in its ongoing development, and why it's important to honour the community’s history while embracing its future.

Today, we have an exciting guest, Jordi Serramia from Singular Green, Alicante, Spain, who is an innovator in urban greening solutions. We’ll be diving into the world of vertical gardens, green shades, and why integrating plants into urban spaces is more than just a trend—it’s a necessity.

Jordi shares the real benefits of vertical gardens, from air purification to energy efficiency, as seen in his own office setup. We’ll also explore the fascinating concept of green shades—an innovative way to bring greenery to city streets where traditional planting isn't possible. These structures provide shade, lower urban temperatures, and create an overall psychological boost for city dwellers.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why greenery is essential in our cities and how innovative designs can transform urban environments for a healthier, happier future. Let’s get started!
