ARIZAGA, Ximena. Learning from the ambiance throughout Urban Renewal. Three neighborhoods of Santiago de Chile. []. , 32, 1, pp.261-275.   11--2022. ISSN 0124-7913.  https://doi.org/10.15446/bitacora.v32n1.96010.

Three neighborhoods of Santiago once renovated, are analyzed in the light of the concept of ambiance understood as the emergent characteristic of the relation between the uses of space and the built space (physical and sensory), which becomes significant when it is used, inhabited and intervened by individuals. The recurrent observation of the uses and practices that the inhabitants make of the public space allows us to recognize the formal characteristics that urban renewal policies introduced in these sectors. Through the analysis of the differences concentrated in three practices of the built and sensitive space that are waiting, selling and exhibiting, the exposed research seeks to show how the built space shapes the practices of the inhabitants and vice versa, how the inhabitants may or may not modify and appropriate the city. The comparison of the practices of the space reveals the possibilities offered today by the different urban renewal policies implemented in Santiago: while these were first focused on public space at the end of the 19th century, at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of this century, they concentrated on private space; hence limiting both the collective and individual practices of urban space.
