Barrio Las Cooperativas - Maldonado
Barrio Las Cooperativas emerged from cooperative housing construction, a widespread form of solidarity housing in Uruguay. The residents have planned and built their homes together.
The cooperative origin still shapes the strong neighborhood today. Community work and mutual help are lived values here. Festivals and assemblies strengthen cohesion.
Housing cooperatives are a trademark of Uruguay. Through self-help and community work, affordable housing is created with strong cohesion.
Real estate in Las Cooperativas is often passed on within the community. For outsiders, access is limited, but occasionally properties come to market that are affordable and well-maintained.
