Asunción urban revitalization planning

Overview

The Paraguayan government initiated the ‘Foro ASU 500 años’ to coordinate the urban transformation of Asunción in preparation for the city’s fifth centenary. The forum serves as a platform for national authorities, international representatives, academia, and civil society to discuss heritage preservation and the reconversion of the historic center.

First Lady Leticia Ocampos stated the objective is to revitalize the historic center to ensure it remains a “lived-in space rather than a museum.” President Santiago Peña added that these urban interventions are designed to stimulate economic development by attracting commerce, jobs, and new investments.
