Identity of the commune of Hualpen and some of its main urban-populational elements
Keywords:
urban development, population growth, conurbation, intercommuneAbstract
Before being created in 2003, the commune of Hualpén was foreseeing as a large neighbourhood of the commune of Talcahuano, and its name was related semantically to the area of Hualpencillo.
Hualpén’s urban development, initiated in the middle of the twentieth century with the creation of Hualpencillo’s airport as one of the few of the country, can be understood as a sum of neighbourhood settlements that were randomly arranged in the urban communal territory and that are still undergoing a process of consolidation.
This article reviews some of the most relevant and recognisable urban elements that form part of the current inter-communal conurbation Concepción- Talcahuano, that for its size and population represents one of the focal points of one of the main metropolitan areas of Chile.
