  MPhil Architecture, First year, ESALA, University of Edinburgh The topic of my research is The Narco- City of Pablo Escobar as a Cultural Evolution from the ‘Capitalist Paradise’ to Contemporary Medellin. Basically, the narco-city is a polarised city where there is a violent environment, with a subterranean economy within a progressive and rich city, which is divided by private boundaries. It came from the evolution and the impact of the cocaine industry in the 80s. Initially, it was started by Pablo Emilio Escobar, who has been described by an informer in a FBI report as ‘the third richest men in the world’ and the ‘drug king of the world’.1 I want to research this topic because I am also original from Medellin, Colombia and I grow up in the narco-city.
