  • New House, New Furniture, New Room: Children’s Pandemic Landscapes of Care in Chile

    Open AccessSusana Cortés-Morale, Inés Figueroa et al.ARTICLEUrban Planning2024

    Standing at the intersection between geographies of care and children’s geographies, we present three ethnographic stories (emerging from three ethnographic studies) through which we argue that, as a result of pandemic confinement in Chile, children’s places within their landscapes of care shifted in a twofold sense: First, given the de-mobilisation and spatial concentration of spaces of care at home, children’s place became closer to adults,’ su…

  • Moving, Playing, Storytelling: The Uses of Trayectopia to Situate Mobility Experiences in Urban Design, Planning, Teaching, and Research

    Paola Jirón, Walter Imilan et al.ARTICLETransfers2023

    As a pedagogical and ludic tool, the game Trayectopia 1 was designed to engage the complexities of everyday mobilities through storytelling. In this paper, we explain storytelling, games and ludic initiatives in urban planning processes, the conceptual basis for Trayectopia, and how to play the game. Trayectopia contributes to a more situated form of urban and design and planning by incorporating multiple knowledges—particularly those emerging fr…

  • Evangelists of the urban future. A decolonial critique of the smart city narrative in Santiago de Chile

    Paola Jirón, Walter Imilan et al.ARTICLECity2022References: 11

    The smart city (SC) is an urban planning model and image of the urban future that circulates globally. In order to broaden the scope of the SC literature, this article examines how the SC debate has played out in Chile, and specifically in Santiago, where SC initiatives are supported by a local alliance that includes segments of the government and technology companies. We analyse how the SC narrative has been performed and promoted, asking how it…

  • Placebo urban interventions: Observing Smart City narratives in Santiago de Chile

    Open AccessPaola Jirón, Walter Imilan et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies2021Cited by: 9References: 36

    The implementation of the Smart City (SC) model in Santiago, Chile has not heralded any significant interventions in terms of scale, urban impact, amount invested, technological innovation or architectural design. Instead, material interventions have been small and have had little more than a superficial impact upon the perceptions of citizens. The significance of observing ‘Smart’ interventions in Santiago involves analysing their implementation…

  • Latin American smart cities: Between worlding infatuation and crawling provincialising

    Open AccessClara Irazabal Zurita, Paola JirónARTICLEUrban Studies2021Cited by: 7References: 61

    Smart city initiatives in Latin America aim to harness information and communication technologies to make urban service provision and management more efficient, transparent and user-friendly. Latin American cities have been relatively slow to adopt such initiatives, but there is inter- and intra-urban variety in the region. We offer illustrative vignettes of Rio de Janeiro, Santiago and Medellín, which have experimented with different formats for…

  • El campamento en relación con la ciudad: Informalidad y movilidades residenciales de habitantes de Alto Hospicio

    Open AccessWalter Imilan, Eduardo Osterling et al.ARTICLERevista INVI2020

    Campamentos (informal settlements) are usually observed as units, islands within cities and located places of urban exclusion. This vision sets urban informality as enclaves. The campamentos in Alto Hospicio (North of Chile), which have played a central role in the development of the city, stress this static vision. Observing on experiences of residential mobilities of its inhabitants, we develop a relational perspective, which proposes to unveil…

  • Qué hay detrás de las intervenciones urbanas? Elementos históricos para develar las racionalidades urbanísticas en Chile

    Open AccessPaola Jirón, Alejandra RivasARTICLERevista de geografía Norte Grande2020

    The paper proposes the notion of Urbanistic Rationalities in order to identify contextual, theoretical and practical elements behind urban interventions during the XX and beginning of XXI centuries in Chile. Based on bibliographic revision of specialised literature, the paper identifies the concrete rationalities that have been hegemonic, providing background details of the context where they emerge, their theoretical references, main concepts an…

  • Urban Border

    Open AccessPaola JirónCHAPTERThe Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia…2019

    The study of borders is diverse, in terms of geographic and spatial scales as well as in terms of the types of borders studied and the disciplines that approach them. Border studies have evolved from a fixed territorial demarcation to seeing borders as processes and to a current more complex understanding of the experience of being and living in borders. Urban studies, particularly through urban planning, urban design, and architecture, has used …

  • Mobilities

    Open AccessPaola JirónCHAPTERThe Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia…2019

    Mobility can be seen as an object of study or as an approach to understand broader processes. One of the key features of mobility studies today is the way the new mobilities paradigm has affected the way social sciences and transport studies can be observed. This entry explains the new mobility paradigm and briefly discusses how it affects transport, daily mobility, migration, tourism, residential mobility, urban infrastructure, and policy mobili…

    El barrio ha sido por largo tiempo el principal dispositivo de observación y análisis urbano para la antropología. Sin embargo, se evidencia en la actualidad un debilitamiento de la escala del barrio como una unidad significativa de la experiencia de la ciudad para los habitantes. El texto plantea que el estudio de la movilidad cotidiana permite ampliar nuestra comprensión de como la ciudad es experimentada, en consecuencia, fuente para la constr…

  • Interdependência, cuidado e gênero: Estratégias de mobilidade na cidade de Santiago

    Open AccessPaola Jirón, Javiera Gómez et al.ARTICLETempo Social2018Cited by: 12

    A mobilidade permite analisar como, com quem, onde e por que pessoas, objetos, ideias, entre outros, se movem. Não há mobilidade, mas uma multiplicidade de mobilidades, com diferentes características e implicações para as pessoas. Isto é particularmente evidente quando observamos a experiência espaço-tempo diferenciada entre homens e mulheres, que muitas vezes resulta em situações de desigualdade e exclusão. No entanto, ainda é necessário aprofun…

  • Comparative mobilities in an unequal world: Researching Intersections of Gender and Generation

    Lesley Murray, Kim Sawchuk et al.ARTICLEMobilities2016Cited by: 9References: 42

    Mobilities are shaped by social inequalities and spatial unevenness as demonstrated in a range of existing studies across disciplines. These inequalities are manifest at different scales, from the very local spaces of everyday life to global spaces of accelerated mobilities. Mobile spaces, however distant, are connected through common everyday practices and the sociocultural contexts in which they are produced. In this paper, we argue that resear…

  • Relearning to travel in Santiago: The Importance of Mobile Place-Making and Travelling Know-How

    Open AccessPaola A Jirón, Paola Jirón et al.ARTICLECultural Geographies2016Cited by: 17

    Cities today are experiencing constant, significant and abrupt infrastructural and spatial transformations. This is particularly evident in Metropolitan cities and more specifically, in cities in the Global South. Over the last decade, the implementation of Transantiago - a new public transport system - created greater awareness about the relevance of mobility practices in everyday life in the city. The intervention generated general unrest and p…

  • Embodying Flexibility: Experiencing Labour Flexibility through Urban Daily Mobility in Santiago de Chile

    Paola Jirón, Walter Alejandro Imilan et al.ARTICLEMobilities2015Cited by: 9References: 12

    This paper’s objective is to contribute towards understanding the relationship between mobility practices and labour flexibility. Focusing on the case of Santiago de Chile, it argues that an extremely flexible labour market, as in the Chilean case, affects the everyday lives of inhabitants which are compelled to ‘weave’ dispersed workplaces, articulate multiple-employments within a workday or use mobility time-space for tele-working. From an ethn…

    El presente trabajo genera una aproximación a la comprensión de la exclusión social desde la movilidad cotidiana urbana por medio del estudio de la accesibilidad. Este enfoque teórico-metodológico permite evidenciar las múltiples barreras de accesibilidad que los viajeros encuentran diariamente en sus trayectos por la ciudad, las cuales van dando una "espesura" a la experiencia del tiempo-espacio. El documento primero contrasta las conceptualizac…

  • La contamination acoustique et son impact sur la qualité de la vie dans les villes chiliennes

    Paola Jirón, Giulietta FaddaARTICLEGéocarrefour2003Cited by: 1References: 1

    La contamination acoustique n’est pas considérée par les aménageurs chiliens comme facteur essentiel de la qualité de la vie, alors que les habitants voient dans le bruit le facteur essentiel de détérioration de leur qualité de vie. La législation en reconnaît certes les effets nocifs, mais ne les combat encore que trop peu. Cette prise de conscience accrue a néanmoins conduit à une enquête portant sur trois quartiers du Grand Santiago aux revenu…

  • Quality of life and gender: A methodology for urban research

    Open AccessGiulietta Fadda, Paola JirónARTICLEEnvironment and Urbanization1999

    This paper discusses how to undertake research on quality of life from a gender perspective. It begins by discussing how the concept of quality of life (which is concerned with people's sense of well-being) differs from environmental quality and how both can be measured. It then discusses the methodological basis for undertaking research on quality of life with a particular emphasis on seeking a clear understanding of differences in the perceptio…
