Chile’s unprecedented urban shift brings with it a unique opportunity to boost its citizens’ quality of life. LSE Enterprise collaborated with the RAD-UDD network and and Cámara Chilena de la Construcción to provide a better understanding of the challenges that Santiago de Chile faces.
Chilean Ministers joined LSE Cities academics for an international public conference, bringing together over a thousand attendees from the private and public sectors to agree the principles for building better cities. Next, workshops for senior executives in urban planning and city development roles enabled discussion on topics such as governance, competitiveness, social cohesion, community participation and resilience to natural disasters - elements of city design at the forefront of political debate around the world.
