Gentrificación transnacional en el área patrimonial de Cuenca (Ecuador)
The research addresses a recurring urban phenomenon in historic Latin American cities: their material and symbolic reconfiguration with the purpose of preserving heritage and promoting tourism, with the aim of dimensioning this transformation and analyzing the perception of population involved. The heritage area of Cuenca in Ecuador is chosen as the field of study, a representative case for its successful urban marketing campaign deployed since i…
Analysing the willingness of real estate developers to densify and increase social inclusion
Real estate developers' decision processes are intricate, involving many diverse variables. Understanding developers' decisions is crucial in Latin America, where a growing demand for social housing on better-located land exists. We test the effectiveness of different incentives to encourage developers to build highdensity and socially integrated projects near transport stations using a sophisticated stated choice survey designed to elicit develo…
La crisis del Covid-19 en Chile
La comunicación inicial en la crisis sanitaria en Chile se focalizó en el autocuidado individual, pero la difusión espacial de los contagios desnudó graves problemas en la configuración espacial de nuestras ciudades. Así, barrio y vivienda, tuvieron nuevos usos, que, si bien se dan en un contexto que amplifica las desigualdades socio espaciales tradicionales existentes antes de la pandemia, también muestran particularidades propias de su localiza…
El apego al recorrido en el centro de Santiago de Chile
La importancia de la caminata parece haberse perdido ante el frenético ritmo de la cotidianeidad urbana contemporánea. Priman caminatas funcionales y rápidas que buscan la conexión, ante un escaso número de caminatas contemplativas del espacio público en las que están inmersas. El presente artículo muestra una investigación del proceso de apego al recorrido cotidiano en el espacio público en el centro de Santiago de Chile, la zona con mayor densi…
Subjective valuation of tangible and intangible heritage neighbourhood attributes
Exploring the mutual adaptive process of home-making and incremental upgrades in the context of Chile’s Progressive Housing Programme (1994–2016)
The poet Neruda’s environment
On several occasions, the poet Pablo Neruda referred to Isla Negra as his favorite house and, for many years, he worked to transform it into his primary home. The building of this house, an incremental process over time that saw Neruda’s direct participation in its planning, constitutes a perfect case study for understanding the poet’s intention in the construction of his particular environment: the Nerudian space. Much has been written on Neruda…

Patrones de sociabilidad en barrios vulnerables
En las ciudades contemporáneas el espacio construido y el social se encuentran en un proceso constante de transformación. En este contexto, el barrio es una unidad cuya función es reunir a la comunidad y a sus prácticas, al mismo tiempo que opera como vínculo entre el espacio privado de la vivienda y la metrópolis. El rol del barrio en la construcción de la comunidad cobra especial relevancia en los barrios vulnerables. En Chile después de años d…
Designing incentive packages for increased density and social inclusion in the neighbourhood of mass transit stations
Valuation of housing and neighbourhood attributes for city centre location
Incremental construction
The “enabling” approach to housing markets promotes financing systems based on family savings, public subsidies and mortgage loans to unleash the potential of individuals and communities to produce and improve dwellings. However, the approach failed to benefit lower-income households, as they have less ability to generate savings or make mortgage payments. These households are forced to use informal mechanisms to access housing, such as purchasin…
Dimensiones espaciales de la seguridad residencial
Este artículo analiza en forma breve las principales perspectivas con que el tema de la seguridad del há- bitat residencial ha sido abordado en nuestro país. Se plantea que la mirada dominante en el tema ha puesto un énfasis exagerado en la idea de una apropiación defensiva del espacio, por sobre la necesidad de construir comunidades sanas e integradas. Se propone a continuación un marco teórico alternativo a lo anterior, la metodología de la Sin…
Cuantificando la Percepción de Inseguridad Ciudadana en Barrios de Escasos Recursos
La seguridad ciudadana ha pasado a ser un tema clave en la vida de las ciudades. Un enfoque que puede afectar positivamente la calidad de vida de los habitantes urbanos es el diseño del espacio público, pero experiencias anteriores han carecido de datos que permitan evaluar seriamente posibles alternativas de solución. Este trabajo discute la metodología y presenta los principales resultados de un estudio enfocado a cuantificar la percepción de s…
Las autopistas urbanas concesionadas
If there were a model drivers' city, it would undoubtedly be the reference point for the interventions in Santiago in the past 30 years.Leaving aside the relatively isolated case of the subway, vast areas of land have been given over to road traffic.Concession roads mark the formalization of a class system among drivers that will, unfortunately, inform the way we understand and experience the city.
Cities for All
Cities for All examines informal urbanization in Latin America as well as the methodologies being used to design and implement programs to upgrade slum areas in the region.
Reaching the poor
In recent years, the Chilean government has been refining the housing support offered to households. This paper discusses the main strengths and weaknesses of this system, particularly its ability to satisfy the needs of low-income households. After a description of the system including effectiveness and targeting issues, the authors discuss future challenges for the Chilean housing system including the quality and flexibility of support.
