Public Consultation on the Shopping Mall "Martín de Zamora" or "Jardines de Colón"
The Public Consultation on the Shopping Mall "Martín de Zamora" or "Jardines de Colón" was an instance of non-binding citizen consultation promoted by the Municipality of Los Condes in 2010. The purpose of this consultation was mainly to resolve the conflict raised by the plans to build the mall in an area that was destined for educational or cultural use. In total, more than 1600 people participated in the consultation - about 40% of the people with the right to vote. Of these, 65% rejected the project. The Municipality accepted the popular will and the remodeling was stopped.
