Early in November 2016 Peter and Lindsey from Eden Project Communities visited Santiago, Chile, at the invitation of Ciudad Emergente, an NGO dedicated to developing ‘Human-Centred Cities.’ In June of that year, several members of their team visited a Big Lunch in the UK. Six months later, Santiago had its very own Big Lunch model, the Malón Urbano, up and running in communities across the capital. This story is a testament to the pervasive power of social eating and value of gently engaging residents in conversation about reshaping their neighbourhood.
