Planning in Santiago
Urban planning in Santiago is apparent in each of the nineteen neighborhoods
that make up Santiago proper. Each neighborhood has completed a study
to determine the future needs of the area. The process involves a
large amount of community input. Future projects focus on connecting
neighborhoods and greater Santiago to the central business district through
improvement in roadways, green space creation in the form of parks and “strolls”,
and attracting new businesses and job opportunities to disadvantaged communities.
A completed project runs through downtown Santiago. A path of grass
and paving stones was laid right through the city to provide a greenway
for office workers and shoppers.

The above maps show the names of Santiago's neighborhoods and
their corresponding planning districts. On the planning
map, the purple area is the central business district, the gray
and dark brown areas are residential districts, while the beige and
green areas are parks and open spaces. The beige areas can be
used for race tracks, casinos, and other recreational uses. To read
