Premises

• The intervention requires guaranteeing the inhabitants permanence in the territory
• Any intervention or process involves the generation of agreements with the local communities and its organizations.
• The intervention in the metropolitan border is only one component of policy of growth management (multiscale and multidimenctional)

Community leaders presented the results of their Local Development Plan and the process of Social Construction of Habitat as basis for their territorial visions and projects. In particular, the claims of the Displaced population committee are relevant inasmuch as most of the population settled in the fringes are victims of forced displacement.

Finally, community leaders laid out the proposed political platform to interrogate the greet belt project.
