Seven years ago in Oriente de Antioquia there were 29 housing projects for sale. Today, according to Camacol there are 130 housing complexes in work or recently completed. The situation, experts agree, reflects the growth of the sector in the subregion, and raises questions about how they are developing environmental practices and what should be done to mitigate impacts to the ecosystem.
And for planners it is inevitable repercussions water sources or the landscape itself when 500 housing units sold in 2009 it went to 3,000 this year. The market size has grown six times and represents 10 percent of total projects in Antioquia.
Eduardo Loaiza, Antioquia Camacol manager, agrees that the Oriente was not prepared for this dynamic construction and notes that are not planned, although there are about 18 development studies of strategic projects for the Oriente.
The problem has been diagnosed, but implementation has been lacking, dialogue between municipalities, it has lacked institutional coordination and monitoring of departmental previous administrations. Now we have this support "sentence.
According to Loaiza, in the Oriente, the dream region for many to live, there are challenges in mobility, public space, equipment.
However, the difficulties of today, the management believes that in 10 years the Oriente will work to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants: the second track and the conclusion of the two terminals as well as the relocation of the cargo terminal at Jose Maria Cordova airport.
"The airport will be a city inside with hotels and a free zone. In addition there will be roads, dual carriageway, two tunnels, the second for mass transit and connections between municipalities".
Environmental commitments not only focus on the three fastest growing municipalities: Rionegro, La Ceja and El Retiro. Carlos Mario Zuluaga, director of Cornare, expresses concern at the high number of homes being built in the region.

So the likely result of this boom -- increased traffic and under-investment in roads, schools, water infrastructure, etc.
