Providing a holistic mobility masterplan in support of the Gran Barranquilla urban expansion
Systematica collaborated with BIG to shape the transport strategy for the greater Barranquilla area, expected to grow by 1.5M people by 2100, expanding across 25,000 hectares. We defined a long-term mobility vision and strategic guidelines to support the sustainable expansion of the metropolitan area, using El Hilo di Barranquilla as the public transportation and soft mobility backbone.

Density analysis around the existing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stops highlighted the missed opportunity for creating Transit-Oriented Developments (TOD) in the city center and helped setting density targets according to TOD best practices for the new urban centers.

The TOD strategies around the stops of El Hilo de Barranquilla, the proposed public transport and soft mobility backbone, facilitate the stitching of the existing centralities with new developments.
