  • The Operator's Story Appendix: Santiago's Story
    Railway and Transport Strategy Centre The Operator’s Story Appendix: Santiago’s Story © World Bank / Imperial College London Property of the World Bank and the RTSC at Imperial College London 1 The Operator’s Story: Notes from Santiago Case Study Interviews – February 2017 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide a permanent record for the researchers of what was said by people interviewed for ‘The Operator’s Story’ in Santiago. These notes are based upon 11 meetings between 16th and 20th May 2016. This document will form an appendix to the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’. Although the findings have been arranged and structured by Imperial College London, they remain a collation of thoughts and statements from interviewees, and continue to be the opinions of those interviewed, rather than of Imperial College London or the World Bank. Prefacing the notes is a summary of Imperial College’s key findings based on comments made, which will be drawn out further in the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’. Method This content is a collation in note form of views expressed in the interviews that were conducted for this study. Comments are not attributed to specific individuals, as agreed with the interviewees and Metro de Santiago. However, in some cases it is noted that a comment was made by an individual external not employed by Metro de Santiago (‘external commentator’), where it is appropriate to draw a distinction between views expressed by Metro de Santiago themselves and those expressed about their organisation.

  • DENSIFICATION of a LOW-RISE CITY Santiago De Chile Is
    DENSIFICATION OF A LOW-RISE CITY Santiago de Chile is densifying fast and providing better access to the city services and opportunities for the low- and middle-income citizens. But, at the same time, there are many side- effects that this densification process is generating: residual spaces left between towers, decreased value of surrounding low-rise dwellings, collapsing urban infrastructure, increased security concerns inside dense high-rise buildings, and quickly densified residential neighborhoods that skipped directly from a lack of local retail to having mega shopping centers as their main public space. Leaving all in the hands of private real estate developers, with a very loose land use law and without requiring much urban infrastructure improvement, has led to ugly and unsustainable development of the city. A big issue that incentivizes this poor quality development is that Santiago de Chile does not have a popular elected government for the city as a whole. As Santiago is the capital of the country and hosts 40% of the Chilean population, the cause probably remains in the enormous political power that a Mayor of Santiago might have and the tension that might occur between the Mayor of Santiago and the President of Chile. This issue is the main factor for Santiago’s lack of an overarching comprehensive urban plan to manage densification. Urban development in Santiago is regulated mainly by each Municipality separately. Santiago is a city that gathers 32 Municipalities; each one of these neighborhoods has different political authorities (with different interests). The quality of public spaces in Santiago is strongly characterized by the monetary resources of its neighbors.
