The Roundabout - Urbanism Retreats
The Roundabout: Medellín
Not a tour. Not a conference. A retreat for people reshaping how cities work.
Medellín is no longer a case study it’s a blueprint. From cable cars to civic escalators, social urbanism to digital districts, the city’s transformation didn’t come from top-down mandates. It came from bold ideas built block by block.
The Roundabout is Urban Spaceship’s urbanism retreat series designed for doers, dreamers, and neighborhood futurists ready to get out of the room and into the world. We learn directly from the leaders, residents, and rebels building the next version of their cities.
Trip Highlights:
Guided visit through Comuna 13, Medellín’s most iconic story of reinvention
Private sessions with local planners, architects, artists, and civic innovators
Walking tours of key interventions: library parks, metrocables, escalators, and more
Group workshops, rooftop dinners, and after-hours conversation salons
Optional day trips to coffee country or natural escapes
Built-in free time to explore, rest, or go deep on your own connections
