Santiago, Chile is Walking

Inspirational pocket parks in vacant building lots in Santiago, Chile

Jim Walker recently spent a few days in Santiago Chile, working with CEDEUS (Centre for Sustainable Urban Development) on the technology underpinning the Sidewalk Challenge and speaking at a seminar about improving walking in Chilean cities. And, as you can see in the pictures below, he discovered streets that have been transformed with art, new parklets and sidewalks that are world exemplars!
