Resumen
Urban sprawl has taken varied forms, functions, and structures in recent decades. The aim of this article is to analyze how production processes of utopolis became distopolis through negative socio-spatial effects in the central coast of Chile between 1992 and 2012. Two stages are identified in the process: an earlier expansion of the secondary housing and another one of building main housing with great spatial integration and a strong process of urban sprawl in the central urban macrozone of Chile.
