The urban palimpsest in three renewed neighborhoods of Santiago, Chile

Abstract

The proposal analyses three sectors of Santiago de Chile, representative of three types of urban renewal that are also three forms of space production. In these neighborhoods, the treatment granted to the permanences and irreducibilities of the city is different in each urban renewal policy. The palimpsest of the three neighborhoods is reconstructed in plans that show the different periods of building to understand the composition of their different urban fabrics. The experience today is expressed in interviews with the inhabitants. The proposal presented seeks to verify whether the reading of the inhabitants coincides with the overlapping of buildings from different eras in the neighborhoods studied, and understand what this reveals about the forms of renovation of the city.
