against a major urban
highway concession, Chile’s
first the Costanera Norte
first,
(1996-2000). We saved our
neighbourhoods from
destruction and voted to
continue with new
proposals.
Today, Living City is an invitation to
all those who long
g for a more social
just, greener, friendlier city to
participate in its creation.
La igualdad precisa de tod@s.
