With a call to move forward from “collaboration to action”, the 20th version of the Construction Week was inaugurated on Tuesday, May 16, with the participation of President Gabriel Boric Font, a space oriented to reveal proposals for solutions to the issues facing both the construction sector and the country. The leader of the guild, Juan Armando Vicuña, delivered a message highlighting the 20 years of this meeting, which have addressed issues such as the growing challenges in urban planning, access to housing, decentralization and progress towards more equitable and inclusive cities, as well as the country’s deficits in infrastructure for public use. “Last year we invited the different social actors to engage in “radical collaboration”, to advance in the search for new answers to people’s needs and expectations. But in this Construction Week 2023 we want to go further by calling to move “from collaboration to action”. And, with a sense of urgency, to implement the measures that the country’s inhabitants expect in order to have greater opportunities and a better quality of life”, emphasized the president of the CChC. During the meeting, the Women Build 2023 Award was presented, which responds to the guild’s commitment to promote greater integration of women in construction, recognizing workers in construction sites and companies in the sector that are making a significant change.
