Caracas Neighborhoods Assembly
The Caracas Neighborhoods Assembly became a space for the debate and coordination of social movements and citizens. It emerged from the board of settlers of the First International Meeting of Neighborhoods Rehabilitation that took place in the capital. It began to work in 1991 and ceased to function in 1993. In the meetings, representatives from more than 200 of the city's neighborhoods met to discuss the most pressing issues in Venezuelan neighborhoods and how to improve on them.
