Abstract

The aim of this paper is to review the work done by the Chilean urban institutions between 1965 and 1976, and to highlight the main ideas that guided the formulation of urban solutions in the most significant projects carried out in that period. The conceptual approach of urban projects evolved from the proposal for the San Borja development, perhaps the most representative and important of all, to the evaluation criteria for the International Competition in 1972, whose winning project was never built. This work highlights perhaps the most mature stage set in 1971, with the proposal of a set of urban renewal master plants, which contain not only a physical, but also a social dimension, with the alleged incorporation of social housing in a process of urban consolidation of the central areas of the city of Santiago.
