Bajos de Mena, Urban district in Puente Alto, Santiago, Chile

Located in the southwestern part of Santiago, Bajos de Mena covers an area with 140,000 residents in densely populated social housing developments.

The land belonged to the Mena family until 1886, when it was transferred to the Catholic Church before evolving into a residential area in the 1990s.

Local community centers organize programs and activities that strengthen neighborhood connections despite the socioeconomic limitations faced by residents.

The district connects to central Santiago through bus services, while recent improvements include the addition of Juan Pablo II Park and a police station.

The area spans 13 hectares of parkland featuring a statue of John Paul II, donated by San Sebastian University to enhance public spaces.
