Villa el Salvador : les bâtisseurs du désert
After the earthquake of 1970, Peruvian peasants who had come down from the mountains clashed with the army for the right to settle in straw and cardboard huts on the vast, empty sand flats south of Lima. They had neither water, nor electricity nor roads. Workers, artisans, itinerant merchants and peasants built the working-class city of their dreams. A place where life was good, even if poor: “Villa el Salvador” was born. Today, the city has a population of 500,000, enjoys wide asphalt roads, drinking water, a city hall, millions of planted trees, and vegetable gardens designed to supply the hundreds of public kitchens and school cafeterias. The city, which already had a traveling cinema, a radio and TV station, recently opened its university.
