This chapter analyses the political and economic changes, discourses, and dynamics that allowed leftist community leaders, social organisations, and activists to sit at a table with the city’s elites to develop and eventually implement social urbanism. During the 1990s, a number of changes at the global and national scales influenced narco-traffic and the struggles between guerrilla, paramilitary, and State actors in Colombia, and the Medellín Miracle needs to be understood in the context of the complex history of Colombia’s trajectory towards democracy. Key points in this trajectory include electoral reform and, crucially, the country’s new Constitution in 1991, but these steps have been accompanied by many other influences that have either reinforced or attenuated Colombia’s democratic progress both politically and economically, and the political processes behind the miracle in Medellín reflect these dynamics of progress and revanchism.
