Villa 26, Informal settlement in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Villa 26 consists of densely constructed homes made from corrugated metal, wood, and bricks, situated within the urban boundaries of Buenos Aires.
The settlement emerged during Argentina's economic decline, reflecting broader patterns of urban poverty that intensified throughout the late twentieth century.
Residents of Villa 26 maintain strong community networks through local organizations that coordinate food distribution and medical assistance programs.
The settlement operates without formal infrastructure, relying on improvised electrical connections and lacking proper sewage systems or paved roads.
Local activists utilize converted ambulances to deliver essential healthcare services directly to Villa 26 residents who cannot access traditional medical facilities.
