| Lima
Lima, Peru’s capital city, is the second driest metropolis in the world. Since 1980, the population of metropolitan Lima has doubled, from 4.8 to an estimated 9 million. In the absence of affordable housing policies, the city continues to grow expanding outwards, beyond its metropolitan boundaries. The vacuum in effective management, the lack of a robust diagnosis, and the exclusion of inhabitants from participating in decision making processes to redevelop the area, limit the scope of urban renovation projects and programmes.
