About 300,000 people in Buenos Aires live in villas. Because these informal settlements are not recognized by the state, they often lack important municipal features like street names. Google teamed up with local organizations to make these overlooked neighborhoods easier to navigate.

Watch as communities come together to add thousands of Street View panoramas and share info about vital community resources like medical centers.
