El clima, el acceso a educación, entretenimiento, la tasa de empleo y seguridad son factores determinantes para decidir dónde vivir. ¿Es mejor vivir en una ciudad grande o en un lugar más tranquilo?, ¿mejora la calidad de vida vivir cerca al mar?

Para este capítulo hablamos con Amalia Londoño, ex secretaria de cultura de Medellín; con el ex alcalde de Barranquilla, Jaime Pumarejo; con el docente de Transporte y Logística, Darío Hidalgo; con la publicista Socorro Jaramillo; y con el ex alcalde de Montería, Carlos Ordosgoitia.

1
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:11.199
I' m Roberto Pombo. Welcome
to my questions. An average rush program

2
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:20.679
sponsored by KFAM, family compensation box, climate, access to education, entertainment,

3
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:28.960
employment rate and security are determining factors
in deciding where to live. It

4
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:33.640
is better to live in a large
city or in a quieter place. It

5
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:38.320
improves the quality of life, living
close to the sea, which are the

6
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:42.280
best living areas in Colombia. For
this chapter we spoke with Amaria Londoño,

7
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:46.759
former Secretary of Culture of Medellín,
with the former mayor of Barranquilla, Jaime

8
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:52.640
Pumarejo, with the teacher of Transport
and logistics Darío Hidalgo, with the publicist

9
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:58.159
Jaramillo and with the former mayor of
Montería, Carlos Ordos Goikio am Roberto Pombo.

10
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:04.400
And this is chapter 90 of my
welcome questions. I recently met the

11
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:10.040
daughter of a friend who was in
the country on a short vacation. She

12
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:14.680
was living in Pittsburgh, a city
north of the United States, in the

13
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:19.359
state of Pennsylvania. I had to
ask him a lot of questions, because

14
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:26.000
as far as I understand it,
Pittsburgh had become practically a ghost town,

15
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.680
but it turns out that this city
experienced a resurgent worthy of telling. So

16
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:36.480
let me give you a recount.
Pittsburgh has always been known as an industrial

17
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:42.040
city. It is part of what
is known as rast Belt or Oxide Belt,

18
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:48.239
a region that was rich in industries
such as automotive coal mining, among

19
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:53.799
others. In fact, it could
be said that the industrialization of the United

20
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.760
States began there in the early 19th
century with the construction of iron foundries to

21
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:04.760
process minerals and coal mined in the
same region. He quickly became the largest

22
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.280
steel producer in the world, in
a city of chimneys burping black smoke and

23
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:15.000
Holin. In the war of recession
it became a key city to manufacture weapons,

24
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:21.680
and that led to the construction of
railways and more development. The city

25
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.280
' s growth continued for several decades
of progress around the steel industry, especially

26
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:34.039
in decades like the forties during World
War II. However, not everything is

27
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:38.879
forever. Since the 1980s, what
became known as the steel crisis, caused

28
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:46.080
the disappearance of several steel mills.
Some ninety- nine hundred and eighty-

29
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:53.199
nine hundred and eighty- three jobs
were lost in this sector in the Pittsburgh

30
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.919
area and its environs. The factories
that had employed thousands of people, who

31
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.360
had sworn to thousands of middle-
class families for generations, closed down and

32
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:10.199
poverty began to grow. In the
absence of business it meant that the unemployment

33
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:15.280
rate in the Pittsburgh area reached a
dizzying eighteen percent. In that decade,

34
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:22.280
the city and the region were plunged
into a crisis that for many also caused

35
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:28.560
a severe opioid crisis. The rust
belt then became a belt of poverty.

36
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:32.960
To better illustrate my point, I' m going to tell you an example.

37
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:38.520
There was a time at the beginning
of the 21st century, when it

38
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:44.319
was possible to buy a house for
a dollar, but, as in many

39
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:50.159
stories, the protagonist lived a second
chance. The number of inhabitants increased again,

40
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.199
as did the average income per person. But what made it stop being

41
00:03:54.199 --> 00:04:01.319
a ghost city to become an important
business center. It basically became a technological

42
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:06.879
center around the robotics center of the
University of Carne gim Mellon and is now

43
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:14.919
known as the Robont Down or Robot
City. This has made the autonomous car

44
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.040
industry also established in this city,
where a Google campus was built and little

45
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:25.240
by little it turned the headquarters of
multiple startups or companies of technological entrepreneurship.

46
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:33.360
Culture has also played an important role
in this grand revival, and places such

47
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:39.480
as the Caridge Art Museum or the
Andy Warholl Museum that is the birthplace of

48
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:43.240
this city, which is the world' s largest museum dedicated to a single

49
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:50.120
artist and spreads over seven floors of
a Victorian warehouse. Reformed in this way,

50
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:56.279
Pittsburgh was determined to become one of
the most attractive cities for Americans,

51
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:01.600
or what we call a good living
in Colombia. This whole story put me

52
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:06.000
thinking precisely about our cities, what
they offer and what they seduce so that

53
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:14.480
many people few or some will come
to live in them. Writer Gina Schnuel

54
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:19.199
wrote for the New York Times an
article on this topic and, paraphrasing it,

55
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:24.439
says that there are not two people
looking for the same thing in a

56
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:29.560
city or place to live, but
that there are basic needs that most seek,

57
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:34.279
such as more affordable housing, better
public transportation for access to resources and

58
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:41.759
services. Schnother also says that city
initiatives often do not really address the needs

59
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:46.240
of their residents and sometimes create bigger
problems than those they want to solve,

60
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:54.199
especially for the most vulnerable people.
Writing sets the example of Vancouver, a

61
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:59.079
city in British Columbia, and points
out that, although it is often considered

62
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.079
one of the healthiest cis s ns
in the world, some of its projects

63
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.439
to make the city more habitable,
such as the addition of luxury housing,

64
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:11.360
have contributed to gentrification and have made
rental prices out of reach of many.

65
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:18.399
That is why Andy Hong, director
of the University of Utah Laboratory for Healthy

66
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:25.199
Ageing and Resilient Places, raises the
question of habitable cities. For whom.

67
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:30.959
Reading this, I would be worried
about what are the minimum requirements for a

68
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.800
city to be a good place to
live, transfer the question to Dario Hidalgo,

69
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:40.879
professor of Transport and Logistics at Javeriana
University, and this told me one

70
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:46.079
of the topics that makes a good
place to live is to have easy access

71
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.720
to the opportunities of urban life,
to be able to walk, to be

72
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:51.199
able to reach by bicycle, to
have an excellent public transport network. The

73
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:57.439
trancones that in the case of Bogotá, because they are serious, diminish this

74
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.160
condition of living places. However,
because the city works hard to improve its

75
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.959
public transport, with the construction of
mass transport and networks for walking and cycling,

76
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:10.600
and surely we will be a better
living place. In a few years.

77
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.600
This has been the case of large
cities such as Paris, where Mayor

78
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.560
Han Hidalgo has promoted a structural change
in the way Parisians access their destinations,

79
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:24.439
with a topic of proximity of having
things close to pedestrian networks, which Paris

80
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:29.000
has always had very good pedestrian networks
and also with the increase in the use

81
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:33.199
of the bicycle, which has been
the gigantic one during its term of office.

82
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:42.120
Of course, an efficient public transport
network makes a better living room for

83
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:46.839
many people. The answer for the
best place to live in the country is

84
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:51.199
related precisely to the economic, to
the ability of the city to offer better

85
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:58.639
jobs, better paid. And it
is known in this program that we have

86
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:03.439
analyzed it before that Colombia is a
tremendously centralist. Bogotá concentrates all the institutions,

87
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.959
much of the labor supply, Most
of the most important universities are here

88
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.639
and that' s why it receives
so many people from the rest of the

89
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:20.199
country Something similar happens with other capital
cities such as Medellín, Barranquillo, Cali,

90
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.920
and is that many people seek to
be in a big city because precisely

91
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.319
it brings us closer to those possibilities
of work and education that lack municipalities and

92
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.000
smaller ones. If you belong to
that group, your money and ideal is

93
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.919
between Bogotá and Medellín. I say
this because, according to the Modern Cities

94
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:43.039
Index of two thousand and twenty-
three, these are the two most modern

95
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.720
cities in the country. This must
be added that Bogotá and Antiogia are the

96
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.279
two regions that contribute the most to
the national gross domestic product. Also the

97
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.679
PIP Percapita is the highest and Bogotá
is the fourth city with the lowest unemployment

98
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:05.000
rate. There is a list called
Wolts Best Cities or the best cities in

99
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.639
the world and in its tenth edition
it only included one Colombian city and that

100
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:15.440
is Bogotá. Eighty- one.
The list includes a hundred cities where the

101
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:20.440
attraction of employment is measured by visiting
investments. Medellín, for its part,

102
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.960
is the city with the lowest unemployment
rate. It is also the city in

103
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.559
which the Antioquian economic group has a
large part of its companies. It is

104
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:33.559
already almost a truth of grujou hair, which is a prosperous region. In

105
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.399
two thousand twenty- two, the
famous Time Out tourism magazine interviewed twenty-

106
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.919
zero people in the world to list
the best cities in the world to live

107
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.360
in, and that year, Medellin
ranked third only below Edinburgh, the capital

108
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:52.159
of Scotland and Chicago. I looked
for the Secretary of Culture of Medellín,

109
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:58.039
Maria Londoño, and asked why Medellin
is a good living place for those seeking

110
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:03.159
stability and economic development. This is
their answer, because Medellín is an entrepreneurial

111
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:09.919
ecosystem. We are close to many
cities in Latin America. We are at

112
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.480
a good time of cultural exchange.
There are non- traditional investments, for

113
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:18.000
example, in the art world.
In the cultural world we have a large

114
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.960
offer that has increased in recent years, of programs very nourished of culture And,

115
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.600
moreover, we have many nearby municipalities
where the cost of living is more

116
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:31.799
accessible than in the city and there
is a metropolitan area with very good housing

117
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.200
options that is connected through the metro
of Medellín. Perhaps the locals feel very

118
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.960
fast these changes, that massive influx
of people from other sides. Many of

119
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:46.120
us decided to move too, but
Medellín is still a meeting point, of

120
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:52.080
work and projection for young people and
also for people who want to spend another

121
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.840
phase of their lives. When they
retired. We see that many people also

122
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.879
arrive in the city from other places, because it can also be much quieter

123
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:05.600
and offer many other alternatives. However, despite all the good reasons to live

124
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.960
in any of the two largest cities
in the country that I have just listed,

125
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:16.159
it also has its bemoles and is
that they are precisely the two most

126
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.480
expensive cities to live on the other
side of the spectrum is in another group

127
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.000
of cities. If you want to
live well for a lower price. According

128
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.840
to the February consumer price index of
two thousand twenty- four, made by

129
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.159
DAME, the cheapest cities to live
in are Ibague, Popayán and Villavicencio.

130
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.200
Also along this line is Bucaramanga,
because, according to the report of Bilis

131
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:45.200
Global of Habitability two thousand twenty-
three, done by the Research Analysis Division

132
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:50.519
of Economs, the capital of Santander
ranks five hundred thirty- nine of the

133
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.120
cost of living among five hundred forty- nine cities analyzed all over the world.

134
00:11:54.360 --> 00:12:00.000
This index places Bucaramanga there not only
as the cheapest of collos, but

135
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:05.840
also as the most accessible in that
regard in all South America and to get

136
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.519
an idea other cities of the country, like Medellín, was ranked four hundred

137
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.279
eighty- seven of the five hundred
forty- nine cities evaluated in total and

138
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:18.440
is the most expensive in Colombia all
the world. But to this great advantage

139
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:24.559
we must add another that other cities
also share and it is something that we

140
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.559
have already talked about in another chapter. From chapter forty- three, I

141
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:33.240
recommend quietness and the passage of time. If you live in a city of

142
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.720
about a million inhabitants, you will
know what I' m talking about,

143
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.200
and it' s easy to reach
any point in less than an hour,

144
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.600
the possibility of going back to the
house to have lunch every day and even

145
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.759
to take a nap is a benefit
that can' t be measured in pesos

146
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:56.240
or dollars. David Peters is an
associate professor and rural sociologist of Extension at

147
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.720
Iowa State University and is also the
author of a research on the reasons that

148
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.440
drive quality of life in the small
cities of Aiua and found that, while

149
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:11.080
a high quality of life was associated
with typical factors such as higher incomes,

150
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:18.399
lower poverty and many jobs, the
main drivers of quality of life were social

151
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:26.759
capital and civic measures. According to
Peters, getting large businesses into a small

152
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:31.000
town can be costly, time-
consuming and requires a great coordinated effort.

153
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:37.919
Instead, investing in social capital projects
is a much lower burden on the limited

154
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:43.519
resources of a small city. Then, when the quality of life improves,

155
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.799
it will be much easier for these
new companies and citizens to arrive. And

156
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:56.000
one aspect that today has gained value
is mental health. Imagine for a moment

157
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:01.440
that you have spent the last hour
in a museum, a three- lane

158
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.159
bandage in which everyone is full,
although only two kilometers to reach your destination,

159
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:11.720
it will most likely take you another
half hour to reach it. This

160
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.000
scenario is going to repeat it early
in the morning before going to work and

161
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.480
at the end of that same day, after finishing the day of work,

162
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:24.679
This scenario bends to the strongest.
If what you want is to get to

163
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:31.200
your job about twenty minutes NEIVA valleydopar
without getting away are the best times of

164
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.200
displacement and are the vines that people
are looking for. In this sense,

165
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.360
many cities have progressed to become what
is known as fifteen- minute cities,

166
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.840
that is, cities where all the
inputs and services we need in the day

167
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.600
- to- day are left at
a distance that covers fifteen minutes, whether

168
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.720
on foot by bicycle, a place
where schools and hospitals and commerce concentrate on

169
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:58.679
small areas, a kind of micro- city within the city. Several capitals

170
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.919
of the world have already begun to
implement this type of urbanism, such as

171
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.120
Paris and New York. Living in
large cities affects mental health and I don

172
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.960
' t say so the urban design
center of mental health according to the tyn

173
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:18.320
tang, which is dedicated to responding
how you can design a better mental health

174
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:24.440
in our cities. The urban environment
can affect people in two ways. Key.

175
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:31.600
One is increasing the stimuli that bombard
us every day. According to this

176
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:37.679
center of thought, this can have
the effect of an overload increase the basic

177
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.919
levels of excitement, stress and body
preparation, but also encourage people to look

178
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:48.240
for the hibro quiet and private spaces. Over time, this impulse can evolve

179
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:54.240
into a social isolation associated with depression
and anxiety, and also forms the basis

180
00:15:54.480 --> 00:16:00.279
of the ecological hypothesis of schiovermia.
On the other hand, the urban environment

181
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:06.879
affects mental health by eliminating protective factors, that is, they have less access

182
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:11.960
or it is more difficult to access
nature, physical activity and have less time.

183
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:19.080
According to the analysis of this group
of experts, the inhabitants of the

184
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:26.240
big cities can feel insecure, have
less privacy and even sleep less due to

185
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:33.000
factors such as overcrowding, light,
noise and stress. Why small or intermediate

186
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:37.360
cities are better mini- banks.
He tells the question to Carlos Ordos Goitia,

187
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.879
former mayor of Montería and former president
of the capitals. Let' s

188
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:47.279
hear your answer. The premise is
based on a natural reality, which is

189
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.399
based on comparing the quality of life
of citizens in general, but much more

190
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:55.559
focused on the family. Having said
this, the result among cities with greater

191
00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:00.519
population size verses of intermediates is perception
and reality where conditions are established much more

192
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:04.240
favorable to intermediate ones. These are
essentially due to daily balances, proximity and

193
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:11.240
access. The intermediate cities in Colombia
have developed in such a way, especially

194
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.559
in the provision of specialized services,
medical, financial and cultural, among many

195
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.599
more, as well as ostensibly improving
the security problems that take away the tranquility

196
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:25.079
of the citizens, which is perhaps
the problem where the greatest concern arises in

197
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:29.119
the country. An important factor is
the cost of living, new housing and

198
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.960
the basic basket, which is always
lower in intermediate cities. Also strategic road

199
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:40.000
development to avoid lost time in city
traffic is another favorable condition. Public transport

200
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:44.640
accompanied by cycling routes and cities focused
on parks and green areas, where citizens

201
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.359
have access regardless of the cardinal point
where they live. Anyway, the dream

202
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.960
of every city is to build fifteen- minute cities, as is the case

203
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:59.279
with Montería. You' ve heard
that song from the killer sound that says

204
00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:03.640
in the sea life is more tasty. Well, it' s not just

205
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.599
a sticky phrase. For many people
it is a truth of a fist.

206
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:12.440
If we stick to what the studies
say, yes, living near the sea

207
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:18.799
improves health and well- being.
One of these studies was done by the

208
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.839
European Centre for the Environment and Human
Health, the School of Medicine, the

209
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:27.799
University of etc, in which they
took advantage of the population census of the

210
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:33.039
United Kingdom and the question in which
each person was asked to qualify his general

211
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:37.519
health status in the previous twelve months
as good, quite good or not good.

212
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:45.559
The result was that the Aracosta proximity
was positively associated with good health,

213
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:51.319
with a small per significant increase in
the percentage of people who reported. To

214
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:55.920
have good health among the populations that
recidivate closer to the sea and, according

215
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.519
to similar analyses of accessibility to green
areas, the positive knowledge of the coastal

216
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:08.599
proximity may be greater among the most
socio- economically disadvantaged communities. There is

217
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:15.440
a rather eloquent extra fact that the
increase in blue space visits is significantly associated

218
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:22.000
with lower levels of psychological distress.
According to a study by the University of

219
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:26.640
Michigan with former mayor of Barranquilla,
Jaime Pumarejo, to tell me why the

220
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:30.440
city of Near to the Sea or
with Sea are the best living places.

221
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:37.799
This he told me was in a
town with sea one night after a concert

222
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:42.039
said Joaquin Sabina, at the beginning
of a beautiful story. That is the

223
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:51.279
Colombian Caribbean facing the Caribbean Sea,
behind the imperious snowy Sierra de Santa Marta

224
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:59.400
and extending to Córdoba. In every
village there is magic, there are miracles

225
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:04.200
and there are people open to the
world, because they are used to migration,

226
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:08.359
because they are used to being outside
and not to taking refuge in the

227
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:15.079
walls of their homes from the cold, but to going out, to venture

228
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:21.319
and to know what the world brings, to make an ethnic group that is

229
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:26.920
done every day with the arrival of
people from the interior, from the outside

230
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:29.440
and an incredible sancocho that unites us. That is the magic of a people

231
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.920
in the Colombian Caribbean, at the
front of the Caribbean Sea and on the

232
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:40.759
banks of a river like the Magdalena
River, there is a factor that is

233
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:44.039
paramount when it comes to choosing a
place to live, and it is the

234
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:48.240
climate. There are two types of
animals, then hot blood and cold blood.

235
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.920
I would dare say that the same
thing happens with us humans, and

236
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:57.160
in this case, the blood type
is inversely to provide the climate in which

237
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:03.240
one prefers to live. A research
of two thousand eleven by psychologists in the

238
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:10.480
Netherlands found that people tend to fall
into one of four summer- loving categories.

239
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.359
Their mood improves when it' s
hot and sunny who hate summer.

240
00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:22.400
His mood decays when he makes carol
and that sun who hate the rains.

241
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:27.599
His mood decays in the rainy and
unaffected yas. Those who are not very

242
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:32.599
affected by the climate are not greatly
affected by their mood. But beyond these

243
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:38.000
preferences, they all have in common
that affects the mood. Another research found

244
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:42.359
that with low moods, most people
relate low moods to low temperatures below ten

245
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:48.400
degrees Celsius or high temperatures above twenty- one degrees Celsius, high humidity,

246
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:59.279
fog and rain to high mood.
On the other hand, average temperatures are

247
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:02.920
generally related between ten gras centigrade and
twenty- one degrees centigrade. The lonely

248
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:08.160
days, the high atmospheric pressure and
the clear sky. Energy is also another

249
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:14.240
factor affecting temperature. Usually, cold
weather gives the body the signal to calm

250
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:22.039
down and hibernate, which means less
energy in the winter months. Warmest temperatures,

251
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.279
on the contrary, can increase energy
along with mood, but only up

252
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:32.119
to twenty- one degrees centigrade.
After that, you may get tired and

253
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:37.200
feel the need to escape the heat. But even though everyone feels or feels

254
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:41.240
better in the cold or in the
heat, there is a perfect temperature.

255
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:51.599
Several recent research projects have shown that
many other organisms also find that the most

256
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:59.160
stable temperature for their biological processes is
twenty degrees sensed. In short, according

257
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:03.880
to all these data, the climate
that one should look for in an ideal

258
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:08.319
living room is the temperate climate between
eleven and twenty- one degrees that has

259
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:11.480
been cleared. In that case,
one should look for the coffee shaft.

260
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:17.200
That is a region that enjoys a
good quality of life according to the cities

261
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:21.160
network as we go, eighty-
six percent of the marisaleños, eighty-

262
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.279
one percent of the pereiranos and seventy- five percent of the inhabitants of Armenia

263
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:30.519
are proud of their city and,
according to the national survey of quality of

264
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:34.240
life of the Dano, the departments
of the coffee axis stand out for having

265
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:41.880
the highest levels of satisfaction after Bogotá. They are the departments in which most

266
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:48.279
households have access to the Internet and
finally, the coffee- axis departments are

267
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:53.319
the ones that reported the most that
they have the perception that the things they

268
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:59.000
do in life are worth the sherry. I think reaching that level of peace

269
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:04.160
existence is worth it. I sought
help Jaramillo, a publicist who lives in

270
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:08.599
this region several years ago and who
devised the King' s heart campaign after

271
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:14.160
the terrible earthquake that affected the coffee
axis in nineteen hundred and ninety- nine

272
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:17.519
I asked him to tell me why
he axisd. Coffee maker is a good

273
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:22.599
living room. Here' s your
answer. What a good place to live

274
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:26.599
means. A good viridor is a
place where one can breathe pure air and

275
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:33.480
sometimes seem to be the accomplice of
a space conversation. A good place to

276
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:37.559
live is done by people in the
quindío. We have the privilege of being

277
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:42.960
part of that heritage of humanity which
is the coffee cultural landscape. We have

278
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:48.640
the time to enjoy unforgettable moments.
Around a cafe we are embraced by imposing

279
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:56.680
mountains and accompanied by transparent rivers.
The birds are the ones who, at

280
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.519
dawn, announce the new day that
at the end of the afternoon is said

281
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:04.400
goodbye with so much of a collection
being, the strength of its people,

282
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:11.000
the kindness with the understatement and the
solidarity with the neighbor makes this wonderful place

283
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:14.759
to live as you see. It
is our majestic quindino who more than twenty

284
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:22.279
years ago was the inspiration for the
Quindío campaign. My heart and clear,

285
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.799
a very important aspect to decide in
which city of Colombia to live. It

286
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:32.000
is one that I mentioned at the
beginning in the case of Pittsburgh' s

287
00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:36.400
success, the offer of culture and
entertainment. In this case there is also

288
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:40.559
for all tastes excuse in cachaquism.
But I want to start with Bogotá.

289
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.720
It is the city with the most
museums around sixty, with a cinema with

290
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:51.359
permanent programming, a series of libraries
that envy in many countries and music festivals

291
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:56.759
for free and for all tastes.
According to the register of the Chamber of

292
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.480
Commerce of Bogotá, in Colombia,
the annual collection that the live music shows

293
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:06.799
achieved in two thousand twenty- two
reached twenty- six thousand four hundred and

294
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:11.000
twenty- five million, and only
Bogotá achieved more than half of the total

295
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:14.160
collection, with fourteen thousand seven hundred
and fifty- two million. Medellin,

296
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:18.680
Cartagena, Cari and Barranquilla are also
cities rich in cultural offerings, but only

297
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:22.440
in Medellin is the Antioka Museum,
the Museum of Modern Art of Medellin,

298
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:27.480
better known as mam A and the
I Festival that is distributed between Cartagena,

299
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:34.960
Medellin and Jericota. Finally, there
are several measurements to solve the question about

300
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:38.079
Colombia' s best living room.
On the one hand, there is Living

301
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:42.240
Cost, a portal that is dedicated
to comparing the cost of living between the

302
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:47.240
cities of the world and last year
made a ranking of the best places to

303
00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:52.799
live in Colombia, taking into account
factors such as rent costs, public services,

304
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:57.079
food, transport, minimum wages after
taxes, domestic product, per capita

305
00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:03.359
group, human freedom index, life
expectancy, population homicide rate, mortality due

306
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:11.000
to trauma caused by transit and rate
of perception of corruption. In this list,

307
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:15.720
the first cities are Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Barranquilla and Pereira.

308
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:22.000
The Ranquia Portal did a similar exercise
and for that it took into account the

309
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:25.559
survey of perception of the quality of
life carried out by the network of cities.

310
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:30.119
As we go, most of the
polled flourished security and coexistence with sixty

311
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:34.480
percent, employment with fifty- one
percent and mobility with thirty- nine percent.

312
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.200
According to this list and with these
criteria, the best living areas in

313
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:48.640
Colombia are Barranquilla, Pereira, Girón, Zipaquirá and Puerto Colombia. In the

314
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.839
end, it doesn' t matter
if you are looking for a big city,

315
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:56.200
with opportunities and full of noise,
a smaller and better mobility, a

316
00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:00.680
village facing the sea or one in
a cold mountain, a city where living

317
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:04.759
is cheaper or where the income is
better, Because, fortunately, this is

318
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:11.279
a country with living places ideal for
all tastes I am Roberto Pombo and this
