FUSTER-FARFAN, Xenia; RUIZ, Juan Ignacio  e  HENRY, Lucila. The Peripheries of the Periphery: City Production and Housing Policy in Chile. Territ. [online]. 2023, n.49, pp.1-.  Epub 09-Jan-2024. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.12404.

The discussion on producing urban peripheries in Chile has focused on the capital. An understanding of this process is proposed for San Pedro de la Paz, a city in the Metropolitan Area of Concepción in the country's south. The hypothesis is that housing policy has been the most relevant actor in producing peripheral urbanisms. It is a territory where center-periphery relations are hybrid and strongly influenced by the relationship built with the landscape and nature. The methodology combined geographical analysis of land cover and use, documentary and normative analysis, and observation of different social housing complexes built at different times. The results show how the territory has historically been shaped as a peripheral and suburban area, which is consolidated by the action of the State, producing a diffuse space dominated by the values promoted by the middle classes.

Palavras-chave : Urban periphery; Global South; housing policy; suburbanization; Chile.
