Puente Alto, Colina and Recoleta These are some of the communes of the Metropolitan Region that have worsened their quality of life in the last 10 years.
This is one of the conclusions presented by the Urban Quality of Life Index (ICVU) 2020, a study developed by the Chilean Chamber of Construction (CChC) and the UC Institute for Urban and Territorial Studies, which was in charge of analyzing the progress of 99 communes in Chile, in which there are more than 50 thousand inhabitants.

Likewise, the survey records an increase in the quality of urban life in five communes called “emerging metropolitan areas”, as these are cities that will be recognized as metropolitan areas in the short term: Puerto Varas, Talca, Rancagua, Chillán and Chillán.
According to Arturo Orellana, director of the ICVU Project, this study compared the gaps in “Housing and Environment –which assesses housing and public space conditions– and Business Environment –which measures the capacity to attract investment from the communes.”
