Grassroots innovation generates possibilities for the informal and collective production of the territory that the city itself denies, from bottom-up solutions for sustainable development and consumption, which respond to the local situation, interests, and values of the communities involved. This paper aims to identify how grassroots innovation practices take place and are shaped in ‘El Faro’, a self-built settlement at the urban border of the city of Medellín; and how these have allowed the social transformation of health and well-being. This was done from a qualitative approach with an interpretative scope, under the case study methodology. ‘El Faro’ is a space built by its inhabitants, in a process that they have called "dignity and resistance", becoming the promoter of what we identify as four ‘grassroots innovation practices’ developed around three main issues: community water management, artistic training and the creation of community public spaces. This process has allowed them, from the capacity of agency, to understand their poverty situation and face it, modifying the conditions that reproduce it and responding to unsatisfied basic needs, based on innovative solutions that guarantee conditions of life with dignity and well-being. Likewise, it generates mechanisms that reduce inequality because the community becomes the main driving agent for the construction of the city and the transformation of the health-disease process, through its community assets.

哥伦比亚麦德林自建定居点的健康和福祉社会转型的基层创新实践

基层创新为城市本身否认的非正规和集体生产创造了可能性，从自下而上的可持续发展和消费解决方案，响应当地情况、利益和相关社区的价值观。本文旨在确定基层创新实践是如何在麦德林市城市边界的自建定居点“El Faro”中发生和塑造的；以及这些如何促成健康和福祉的社会转型。这是在案例研究方法下通过具有解释范围的定性方法完成的。'El Faro' 是一个由其居民建造的空间，在他们称之为“尊严和抵抗”的过程中，成为围绕三个主要问题发展起来的四个“草根创新实践”的推动者：社区水资源管理、艺术培训和社区公共空间的创建。这一过程使他们能够从机构的能力中了解他们的贫困状况并面对它，改变重现贫困的条件，并根据创新的解决方案来应对未满足的基本需求，以保证有尊严和幸福的生活条件。同样，它产生了减少不平等的机制，因为社区通过其社区资产成为城市建设和健康疾病过程转变的主要驱动力。这一过程使他们能够从机构的能力中了解他们的贫困状况并面对它，改变重现贫困的条件，并根据创新的解决方案来应对未满足的基本需求，以保证有尊严和幸福的生活条件。同样，它产生了减少不平等的机制，因为社区通过其社区资产成为城市建设和健康疾病过程转变的主要驱动力。这一过程使他们能够从机构的能力中了解他们的贫困状况并面对它，改变重现贫困的条件，并根据创新的解决方案来应对未满足的基本需求，以保证有尊严和幸福的生活条件。同样，它产生了减少不平等的机制，因为社区通过其社区资产成为城市建设和健康疾病过程转变的主要驱动力。
