Neighbors for the Defense of the Yungay Neighborhood: Citizen Innovation for Heritage
?Neighbors for the Defense of the Yungay Neighborhood: an experience of citizen innovation for heritage? is an initiative since 2005 by a group of Neighbors for the Defense of the Yungay District in response to the municipal initiative to modify the Municipal Regulatory Plan, in particular, with the intention to build high-rise buildings in the area of the Portales Park. This initiative carried out festivals, recitals and other civic activities. Among these, three public city councils were held in which approximately 400 neighbors participated. Legal protection of the area was achieved in 2009.
