Preservation and Revitalization in Latin America

How prevalent is this kind of activity?

Many cities in Latin America have a city center that has been in decay for years, for many different reasons. And often when there’s a change in government there’s suddenly the appetite to do something about it. In Barranquilla, Colombia, the city government, with the support of the federal government, has put a plan together. This follows the path of other cities in the region such as Mexico City and Lima, Peru.
