The Mayor’s Office and the community met to share commitments and carry out actions aimed at protecting the works and promoting the center as a tourist attraction.
With the purpose that the Bucaramanga Mayor’s Office and the community take care of the works of Plan C, Walkable City of the City Center, which currently have a progress of 95%, a meeting was called to establish commitments and thus guarantee the sustainability of this project.
