When I lived in Colombia in the late 1990s, Medellín was the murder capital of the world, but it changed course, and it did this by deliberately investing in its low-income and most violent areas and integrating them with the middle-class ones through a network of cable cars, of public transport, and first-class infrastructure, and in the process, it dropped homicide by 79 percent in just under two decades.
1990年代後半 コロンビアにいた時 メデジンは世界の死の都でしたが 政策を変え 敢えて低所得者層や暴力多発地域に 税金を投入し 公共交通のケーブルカーのネットワークや 良質なインフラを提供して 中流階級地域と統合しました その過程で 殺人が20年足らずで 79％減少しました
