It isThe staggering the fact is that some 200, 000 residents and 200 acres of land have been directly affected by the above -mentioned programmes, whose mark left can be evaluated according to a series of sustainable impact indicators for human development. I give an account of three of them, which are: 1) level of violence, 2) Iinclusion and social cohesion, and 3) Eemployment and housing improvement. Theyse are analyzed in detail below.

Level of Violence
Curbing violence has been essential to social welfare. Contributing factors to this have unquestionably been building up employment and social inclusion. In this respect, it should be point out the involvement of the communities to report extortion and drug trafficking, as well as other law-breaking activities, should be pointed out. As a result, these days, in the affected suburbs, drug trafficking has been completely eradicated, and the crime rate has dropped dramatically, staying in the vicinity of 0 % annual.

Lastly, citizens and tourists can safely walk through these neighbourhoods. I myself visited one of these communities together with two Colombian friends who had never before hit this part of the city. This happened in 2009, and just five years ago, that would have been deemed to be a dangerous walk. SucTh impreg zonable is currently theso zoimpregnable that the city council offers a light show that takes place around midnight, this during the Christmas season.



Social inclusion and cohesion
Another set assignment was boosting social inclusion and cohesion. Thisoc ial.s Aan issue that goes hand-in-hand with a reinforced inhabitant’s feeling of belonging to a community, coupled with self-esteem. To achieve these goals, social services have been created, such as health centres, schools of quality, school meals, sports facilities, environmental research centres, and libraries.

The builtding of the so-called Metrocable, an aerial cable-car system, has been of paramount importance to halting social exclusion, since it allows for the connection of the suburbs with the rest of the city. This is an appropriate technology because these suburbs are rugged highland regions, which, in addition, encompass sheer, curvy slopes. It can be certainly be said that the Metrocable is a mode of transport par excellence:, with regard ftor topography, minimal environmental impact, comfortable, high frequency, immediate link to the city centre, and equitable access for the whole community, as fares transport fares are reduced for the low -income families.

Employment and housing improvement
Increasing employment opportunities and home remodelling have had a positive outcome ton the progress of these marginal zones. On the one hand, it was a commitment to hiring local people to work in the construction of the Metrocables and the aforementioned social facilities aforementioned.
On the other hand, it was created the Business Development Centre, named CEDEZO, was created to embolden enterprise, and, as well as to offer top-notch credit counselling.

Furthermore, the Metrocable plays a central role toin ensuering that people living in the highlands commutinge to work, especially into the city centre. — Nnot to mention the fact that these suburbs are experiencing a boom in tourism, leading to an increase in shops by 400 %.
