Brisas del Volador is an age-friendly urban garden developed in Ciudad Bolívar, Bogotá, as part of a community-based climate adaptation strategy that integrates nature-based solutions with inclusive public space design. Located in a highly vulnerable area previously identified as a landslide risk zone, the project transformed an underused space into a resilient green community hub that promotes wellbeing, accessibility, and social cohesion.

The intervention was developed through participatory climate risk assessments and co-creation workshops involving older people, local residents, and community organizations. Rather than being treated as passive beneficiaries, older adults became active leaders and knowledge holders throughout the design and implementation process.

The project incorporates raised garden beds, accessible pathways, shaded seating areas, pollinator gardens integrated into retaining walls, rainwater harvesting systems, and a greenhouse for community food production. Beyond improving environmental conditions and reducing urban heat island effects, the garden functions as social infrastructure that encourages intergenerational interaction, recreation, and collective learning.

The project demonstrates how age-friendly design and ecosystem-based adaptation can strengthen climate resilience while empowering communities through participatory urban interventions.
