  • CHAPTER 5 Transport and Air Quality in Santiago, Chile
    CHAPTER 5 Transport and air quality in Santiago, Chile M. Osses1 & R. Fernández2 1Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Chile, Chile. 2Department of Civil Engineering, University of Chile, Chile. Abstract This chapter offers a review of the evolution of the transport system in Santiago de Chile during the period 2000–2010, and the implications of local transport policy on vehicle emissions and air quality. The chapter comprises five sections, starting with a general overview of the Metropolitan Region of Santiago and its population, as well as a description of the current transport system. The relationship between transport and air quality is analysed for the period 1991– 2001, describing car ownership and modal split trends, the technological evolution of vehicles, pollutant emissions from transport, and air quality trends. Finally, a critical review of Santiago’s transport policy is made, using the main programs of the 2001–2010 Urban Transport Plan for Santiago as a case study. The new public transport plan is included in this critical analysis (Transantiago), as well as a set of short-term strategies, road investment and car-use regulations, and non-motorized transport plans for pedestrians and cyclists in the city. Transport trends, however, show that Santiago is following the well-known car- public transport vicious circle that developed countries have gone through. This may offset the environmental effects from vehicle and transport improvements within the city. 1 Urban characteristics of Santiago The Metropolitan Region of Santiago, Chile, has a population of 6.1 million inhabitants, concentrating 40% of the whole population in the country. According to the latest census, the population of the Metropolitan Region of Santiago has grown by 15.3% during the last 10 years [1].

  • 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.

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.
