Cerro Navia (Spanish for "Navia Hill") is a commune of Chile located in Santiago Province, Santiago Metropolitan Region. It is one of the most densely populated communes of Santiago, Chile.
Officially established on March 17, 1981, it wasn't until December 1984 that Cerro Navia became its own commune, taking over much of Pudahuel, part of Quinta Normal, and the old commune of Las Barrancas.
According to the 2002 census of the National Statistics Institute, Cerro Navia spans an area of 11.1sqkm and has 148,312 inhabitants (72,921 men and 75,391 women), and the commune is an entirely urban area. The population fell by 4.8% (7423 persons) between the 1992 and 2002 censuses.[3] The 2006 projected population was 143,035.[6]
0.683, 165 out of 341 (2003)[8]
As a commune, Cerro Navia is a third-level administrative division of Chile administered by a municipal council, headed by an alcalde who is directly elected every four years. The 2016-2020 alcalde is Mauro Tamayo Rozas (IC).[1] [2] The communal council has the following members:
Within the electoral divisions of Chile, Cerro Navia is represented in the Chamber of Deputies by Nicolás Monckeberg (RN) and Cristina Girardi (PPD) as part of the 18th electoral district, (together with Quinta Normal and Lo Prado). The commune is represented in the Senate by Guido Girardi Lavín (PPD) and Jovino Novoa Vásquez (UDI) as part of the 7th senatorial constituency (Santiago-West).
In 2020 the Municipality of Cerro Navia created Plan 80, a person-centred monitoring and accompaniment model, receiving the Zero Project Award 2023 for innovative and scalable solutions.[9] The programme is targeted at persons with and without disabilities over the age of 80. Through individual follow-up consultations, Plan 80 identifies the needs of its beneficiaries, ranging from assistive devices to such basic needs as health services, medicines, hygiene, and food, which are then delivered to the homes of the elderly.[10] In 2021 the programme had over 3,700 beneficiaries.
