Corredors

Corredors is a term that can refer to several different concepts depending on the context. In urban planning and environmentalism, a corredor, or ecological corridor, is a strip of land that connects two or more separate populations of wildlife. These corridors can take various forms, such as river valleys, hedgerows, or even underpasses and overpasses designed for animal passage. The primary purpose of ecological corridors is to facilitate the movement of animals, thereby increasing biodiversity, promoting gene flow, and helping species adapt to habitat fragmentation caused by human development.

In architecture and design, a corredor typically refers to a long, narrow passageway or hallway within a building. This space connects different rooms or areas and is commonly found in residential, commercial, and institutional structures. The design of corredors can vary greatly, from simple, functional passages to more elaborate spaces that incorporate decorative elements or serve as display areas.

In some Latin American countries, "corredor" can also refer to a type of public transportation, often a bus or a dedicated lane for buses, designed to improve the efficiency of urban transit. These bus rapid transit (BRT) systems aim to provide a faster and more reliable public transport experience by segregating buses from regular traffic. The specific implementation and terminology can differ between cities and regions.
