Peru urban and governance reform proposals

Overview

As the 2026 elections approach, political candidates in Peru are expanding on urban and security reform proposals. In San Isidro, Somos Perú candidate Víctor Bazán has proposed a multi-faceted security approach, including modernizing video surveillance with facial and license plate recognition, establishing a flagrancy unit, and strengthening the Serenazgo municipal security force. He also highlighted the importance of improved street lighting as a preventive measure. In Carmen Alto, Batalla Perú candidate Dante Avilés is prioritizing the recovery of public spaces and resource optimization. His plan involves auditing existing video surveillance systems, replacing streetlights with LED technology through agreements with Electrocentro, and reallocating municipal funds from entertainment and events toward citizen security. In Arequipa, candidate Ricardo Ramírez del Villar has suggested funding large-scale infrastructure, such as a cable car system, through private sector partnerships and the ‘Works for Taxes’ mechanism. He also proposed expanding the Solidaridad hospital network to improve healthcare access. In Lima, Avanza País candidate Francis Allison has advocated for a reward program of up to S/25,000 for information leading to the capture of criminals, specifically hitmen. Allison also emphasized the right to self-defense against armed criminals to ensure citizens feel secure. Recent developments show security measures being implemented in Lima, where the municipality has introduced a Municipal Guard to address rising insecurity. In the Corredor Rosado area, authorities are installing armored cabins made of steel and reinforced glass to combat extortion. Lima Mayor Renzo Reggiardo is further advancing urban security initiatives by studying the Buenos Aires City Police model to support his proposal for a specialized Municipal Police.
