People Change Places is a revitalization plan for the city of Lota, Chile. It the result of the 2010–2011 academic year's City Systems project at the Institute without Boundaries (IwB), undertaken by the team of 9 students. This project attempted to understand how to build more resilient cities. The team’s focus was on resolving the challenges facing Lota. The complex and difficult problems facing this municipality were an ideal case study for the iwB’s interdisciplinary approach to whole systems design and social innovation.
