Ciudad Caribia is a planned 21st century socialist community located west of the capital city of Caracas, in Vargas state, in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, that began construction in 2006. The planned community was the brainchild of late, former president Hugo Chávez, with continued construction by Nicolás Maduro.

Housing units and a bike trail in Ciudad Caribia

The city has kindergartens and schools, an adult education program, football and basketball pitches, a government-run health center, a government-subsidized 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. The city is planned to have 20,000 residential units and the total population is expected to be over 100,000.
