Ciudad Caribia is a planned community in Venezuela, located to the west of Caracas.

[1] The city has kindergartens and schools, an adult education programme, football and basketball pitches, a government-run health centre, a government-subsidised bakery and supermarket, and even an industrial area, which is yet to be developed fully.

This is in stark difference to the majority of slums in the hills that surround Caracas, where people live in precarious shacks and have long commutes to work.

[2] The community has been criticized for the alteration of green spaces, cost overruns, that some houses could be unstable or have inadequate materials or lack of adequate services, insecurity and difficulty to access a mountainous area.

[1] Ciudad Caribia was one of the few places in Venezuela where support for the post-Chávez socialist government remained strong.
