To be part of this event, people can register for free on the page www.feriavivienda.ec from October 21 to 31. “Promoting these types of projects, which seek to guarantee and improve the quality of life of Ecuadorians, is one of the priorities of the current government,” said the Minister of Urban Development and Housing, Darío V. Herrera. This state portfolio is one of the entities that supports the organization of the National Housing Fair.
