Ciudad Jardín residents protest new real estate developments

Residents of Ciudad Jardín in the Tres de Febrero district are protesting against new real estate developments that threaten the area's unique urban identity. The neighborhood, originally designed based on Ebenezer Howard's principles to balance urban and rural life through low-rise housing and green spaces, is facing several proposed projects.

Local associations, including the Asociación Civil Ciudad Jardín Patrimonio Singular, have raised concerns regarding a 50-unit housing project in Parcela 19, the construction of paddle courts on Wernicke, and a high-rise building planned for one of the town's access points. Neighbors argue these developments could negatively impact the local landscape, tree cover, and the established scale of the community. While the municipality defends the legitimacy of the works, residents emphasize that urban transformation must remain compatible with the existing environment.
