COTRAVI MVOT to Begin Construction of COTRAVI Public Space Designed in Collaboration with Residents 03/11/2025 Share The Ministry of Housing and Territorial Planning (MVOT), through the Neighborhood Improvement Program (PMB) of the National Directorate of Social and Urban Integration (DINISU), designed the new public space for the Cotravi neighborhood in Montevideo in collaboration with residents. The proposal received technical support from the Department of Urban Development of the Montevideo Municipality, and according to Martín Delgado, director of PMB, it reflects a vision of collaborative work with the community. Although the original design dated back to 2012 and 2013—also developed with community participation—the passage of time changed the needs and dynamics of the neighborhood, making it necessary to update and redefine the proposals, incorporating criteria of environmental sustainability, accessibility, and inclusion. “The project has been progressing rapidly for several years now. Infrastructure, lighting, and sanitation have been installed, and today we are seeing the paving of the streets, which is transforming the neighborhood,” explained Delgado. The official emphasized that the paving represents a key transformation for the daily lives of residents, as it allows for easier access for public transportation and facilitates mobility on rainy days, enabling them to travel to school or work under better conditions. “This progress is part of the goal for Cotravi to reach the same level of urbanization as the rest of Montevideo,” Delgado stated. The project, which began in 2023, will be completed in 2026 with the construction of a new public space of more than one hectare, designed in collaboration with the residents. “We finished the design together with the residents, and now the engineers will present the results of that process. We hope to begin construction quickly, after the building permit is issued in January,” Delgado explained. The public space will include a multi-purpose court, a soccer field, a children's playground, calisthenics areas, and fitness equipment for seniors, as well as a community hall, modern lighting, and meeting areas. “The quality of the public space will be the same as in the rest of the department. We want this place to be a space for enjoyment, integration, and a sense of belonging for the entire community,” he added. The overall project in Cotravi includes the construction of 59 new homes, 45 basic housing units, infrastructure work, connection to the sanitation system, and the restoration of community spaces such as Cultelli Park.
