WHY IMPACT
LA PLATA
La Plata is a big city full of students, as one of the biggest public
universities is there. It’s known as “La ciudad de las diagonales”,
because of its distinctive pre-designed diagonal streets.

La Plata is home to over 600 000 people, of which more than

250 000 cannot afford their basic needs, and around 30 000 are
under the indigence line (that is, they can’t cover the basic food
basket).

and ensuring prosperity for all as part of a new
sustainable development agenda.

Each objective has specific goals that must be

achieved in the next 15 years.

To achieve these goals everyone has to do

their part: governments, the private sector, civil
society and non-governmental associations.
