More than 400 books for schoolchildren in the local communities of Mapocho Río (Chile) FCC Construcción has delivered, in Chile, 400 books with illustrations of the Mapocho Río Park project to the local school community in order to bring them closer to the future Mapocho Río Park. The work is currently more than 50 per cent complete. The activity, which encouraged those present to be “ambassadors of the Mapocho River Park”, took pla- ce over several days at the Manuel Guerrero Ceba- llos School and consisted of different visits to the classrooms of children aged between six and eight, who were given a general presentation of the project and were told about landscaping and care for the en- vironment. The book given to the children contains 36 plates, corresponding to the equipment and spa- ces that Parque Mapocho Río will contain. The project Parque Mapocho Río is a project that seeks to reco- ver and revitalise the south bank of this river in the western sector of the capital Santiago. At the end of its construction, scheduled for the end of 2022, the area will have an extension of nine kilometres in len- gth over 52 hectares. This is the largest urban works project with green areas contemplated in the current programme of the Chilean Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, and the second largest urban project of its kind in the country.
