“I Love My Neighborhood” is a Community Renewal Program initiated by the federal government in 2006 and realized in 200 communities from around the country, reaching 3% of the Chilean population. The communities were chosen based on urbanity, population, social vulnerability, and other factors.

Quiero Mi Barrio has been set up to help residents and their organizations to think of city development as a collaboration between them and municipalities. It aims at strengthening the social fabric, emphasizing the collectivity of neighborhood life, and improving neighborhoods’ physical condition.

# Where?
# When did it start?
Quiero mi Barrio started in 2006, as a presidential order. The programme was renewed in 2014.
# Inspired by:
The programm is based on a few lessons learnt with social housing programmes. The Chilean Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning subsidized two million houses between 1990 and 2005 to counteract long-lasting housing deficits. Despite its overall success, qualities such as social cohesion and the opportunity for residents to co-create their neighborhood were neglected. In many areas, this resulted in social segregation, stigmatization, and other social problems. A new approach was needed.

Develop Shared Purpose & Values: In the first phase of the program, Neighborhood Development Councils (NDC) were established consisting of local residents and social organizations. The Councils provided a place for debate about community visions, priorities and goals. The results of these community debates were memorialized in “Neighborhood Contracts,” a public commitment to carry out projects they agreed on.
