Chilean authorities are executing various regional housing, land management, and urban planning initiatives across several regions.

In Rancagua, the government delivered 406 new homes through urban regeneration projects, including the Altos de Mackenna complex and the Condominio El Sol project, which utilized industrialized high-rise construction methods. In the Maule region, improvement works are underway in 15 social housing complexes across Talca, Constitución, and Parral to address qualitative housing deficits for 1,473 families.

Urban planning efforts include a $500 million update to the Communal Regulatory Plan in Talca, a three-year process aimed at guiding city growth, regenerating the historic center, and improving sustainable mobility. 

Regarding land and property management, the Ministry of National Assets has established a table in the Aysén region to resolve access issues to fiscal lands in areas with high tourism potential. In the Biobío region, the ‘Arriendo a Precio Justo’ program was terminated in favor of transferring ownership of 214 fiscal properties to vulnerable populations, including senior citizens and people with disabilities.
