Santiago, Always Looking, Never Finding
Santiago, always looking, never finding. Who would help me To disarm your ancient history And from pieces to conquer you again A city I want to have for everyone built That feeds whoever wants to enjoy. (Luis Lebert, To my City) Anyone who approaches Santiago with open-mindedness will enjoy a city that has never stopped making and remaking itself, as if it always wanted to know why it is here, what it is doing here, where it is going. Santiago does not have a unique identity, on the contrary, it is always multiple, it is the identity given to it by its people, its neighborhoods and by landscape, the ever present mountain range of the Andes that marks the orientation and the seasons. You will not find here a nation or a people, but a fragmented and reconstituted history, made over and over again, full of small and great contradictions, sometimes with great inequities, and others with great generosity. A city destroyed and rebuilt dozens of times in its history, either by the earthquakes or avenues of the rivers, or in its origin by the old inhabitants. You will not find old buildings, accordingly. The oldest, the Church of San Francisco, begun in 1572, is on its feet and has heroically resisted great earthquakes, probably because in its foundations was used Inca technology of large stone boulders that absorbed the displacement of the earth. Scarce is then the antique Santiago. Spanish colonial buildings disappeared. Here and there you will find buildings from the 19th century, sometimes entire districts, many of them devotees of the French style of the Belle Epoque. -
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.

Santiago Del Nuevo Extremo Fue Fundada El 14 De Febrero De 1541
Visitor Guide Regional Bureau of Education for Latin America and the Caribbean OREALC/UNESCO Santiago CHILE Southwest of South America, Chile is located between 17º 30' and 90º south latitude. Its continental longitude is approximately 4,200 km, or 8,000 km if you consider the Chilean Antarctica. Easter Island ‘Isla de Pascua’ or ‘Rapa Nui’, the Archipelago of Juan Fernandez, San Felix, San Ambrosio, Sala and Gomez Islands are also part of the Chilean Territory. BORDERS. Chile shares a common border with Peru to the North, with Bolivia and Argentina to the East, to the West, it limit is the Pacific Ocean, and to the South, the South Pole. SURFACE. Continental territory and islands: 756,626 km2 Antarctic territory 1,250,000 km2 Total area: 2,006,626 km2. TERRITORIAL ORGANIZATION. In 1979, Chile was divided into thirteen regions, which are subdivided into provinces, which, in turn, are divided into communes. Each region is associated to a Roman numeral in order from North to South, except for the Metropolitan Region of Santiago, the only region without access to the ocean. Upon the creation of two new regions, the numeration of the regions lost its meaning, and now the Chilean use de names of the each region (ex. Región de los Lagos). To date, the country is made up of 15 regions, 54 provinces and 346 communes. GOVERNMENT SYSTEM. The current constitution has been in force since 1980. The State is separated in to three powers: Executive Power, exercised by the President of the Republic; Legislative Power, shared by the House of Representatives and the Senate; and Judicial Power. -
Estilos De Vida E Imaginarios Urbanos En Nuevos Residentes De Lastarria Y Bellas Artes: El Barrio Patrimonial Como Escenario De Diversidad, Distinción Y Movilidad
vol 43 | no 129 | mayo 2017 | pp. 165-186 | artículos | ©EURE 165 Estilos de vida e imaginarios urbanos en nuevos residentes de Lastarria y Bellas Artes: el barrio patrimonial como escenario de diversidad, distinción y movilidad Christian Matus. Universidad de Concepción, Concepción, Chile. resumen | El proceso de transformación cultural desarrollado durante la última década en el barrio Lastarria / Bellas Artes de Santiago de Chile, parece ejemplificar cómo las nuevas generaciones de residentes del centro urbano construyen cultura urbana y esti- los de vida a partir de nuevas prácticas, representaciones e imaginarios sobre el barrio y lo patrimonial. Con el apoyo de una estrategia que articula técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas, se analiza la evolución histórica y estado actual del proceso de transforma- ción del barrio, para profundizar en un análisis de los imaginarios que los nuevos resi- dentes construyen en relación con el barrio patrimonial. Se concluye que en los nuevos residentes no existe una representación compartida sobre el patrimonio y el barrio, sino más bien una tensión entre tres imaginarios: el barrio como isla de diversidad, el barrio como escenario de distinción y el barrio como escenario de movilidad barrial. Los resultados presentan críticamente las posibilidades y limitantes que tiene la cons- trucción de estilos de vida asociados a barrios patrimoniales para el logro de una cultura urbana más diversa. Al respecto, se reflexiona acerca de cómo revertir aquellos procesos que tienden a limitar la integración en el barrio y a la homogeneización en el consumo. palabras clave | gentrificación, patrimonio, cultura urbana. abstract | The process of transformation experienced during the last decade in the Lasta- rria neighborhood seems to illustrate how the new generations of residents in urban centers are creating an urban culture and urban lifestyles from new practices, representations and imaginaries about the neighborhoods and heritage. -

The Plan Regulador Metropolitano De Santiago: An
Transactions on the Built Environment vol 23, © 1996 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 The Plan Regulador Metropolitano de Santiago: an integrated approach to urban transport planning? C.R. Rivasplata San Francisco Planning Department, 1660 Mission Street, San Francisco, California 94103, USA Abstract This paper reviews the urban transport component of the Plan Regulador Metropolitano de Santiago (Chile), a master plan for growth in the area. This planning document has important implications for transport planning in Santiago: it provides the groundwork for establishing linkages between land use zoning and transport investment decisions; it sets spatial limits to urban expansion; and it establishes a set of residential densities. One of the most difficult challenges for the Greater Santiago area is to develop a comprehensive master plan that will accommodate the transport needs of its 37 municipalities (comunas) and make the city a more desirable place to live. Some of the principal factors contributing to environmental degradation in Santiago, such as air pollution and traffic congestion, are caused by the inefficient provision of transport services. Therefore, it is important that this plan clearly define the role of urban transport in the economic development of the metropolis. This paper concludes that while the Plan plays a key role in the reduction of travel times, energy consumption and agricultural deterioration, it mistakenly proposes to satisfy increased travel demand through an expansion in road capacity and identifies roadway improvements that fall under the jurisdiction of individual comunas. However, many of these comunas lack resources and are unable to generate the revenues necessary to finance these improvements. -

Material Barrio Estación Central
La Estación Central de Ferrocarriles fue instalada en el mítico barrio de Chuchunco hacia 1863. Dicho espacio correspondía al límite sur poniente de la ciudad republicana. Su asentamiento se vio impulsado por la creación de la Quinta Normal de Agri• cultura (1842) a la cual se accedía a través de la calle Matucana. El barrio se fue transformando, con la creciente inmigración campesina, de principios del siglo XX, que provino desde el sur del país, en lo que podríamos llamar un lugar de frontera, un espacio donde se mezclarían los modos y usos rurales con el estilo propio de una urbe que se industrializa, masifica e intenta alcanzar cierto grado de modernidad. La imponente estructura metálica de la estación marcó un barrio donde se percibía un aroma a arrabal, a límite, a encuentro- desencuentro, a precariedad, a comercio de baratijas, a guapeza. La instalación en sus cercanías, durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, de las sedes de las escuelas Normal de Preceptores y de Artes y Oficios (1893), más otras instituciones educacionales, otorgará también aires culturales e intelectuales al sector. La hora de salida y de llegada de los trenes al terminal ferroviario marcó los tiempos del barrio. Sus andenes, atiborrados de gentío, fueron los que tomaron el pulso al crecimiento demo• gráfico de Santiago, igual como lo hicieron los conjuntos habi• tacionales que se levantaron sucesivamente para acoger a las capas bajas y las tiendas comerciales aledañas a la estación. El carácter popular del Barrio Estación Central fue una impronta marcada, pese a que muy cerca, hacia el oriente, todavía en el siglo XX quedaban resabios aristocráticos, ejemplificados en el majestuoso Portal Edwards.
