Undressing the interests behind the Regulatory Plan



The proposed regulatory plan prepared by the City Council and presented Peñalolén neighbors between June and August this year through workshops and town has unleashed a real war over communal construction imposed both as a proposal.

First, the town appeals to enable the roads that connect the community, suggesting the widening of streets and land use for the construction of buildings appealing to a building up, rather than expansive. While on the other hand, villagers have stated that these projections do not target the real needs of Peñalolén, since they are not the ones who have cars to make use of open roads or the budget to buy an apartment and accuses the city of ignoring the possibility of social housing and to protect public places.

The cause of the conflict

In Chile, as witnesses could prove the first part of the twentieth century to the dictatorship of the 73 ', proposed a model sustainable city industry and secondary sector of the economy, ie the processing of raw materials by workers who consistently and routinely moved between living spaces where recomposed his energy, and labor, where he was investing their energy production.

This city was built from industrial areas and the population was distributed from their offices. However, the territorial expansion of cities that were generated from phenomena such as rural-urban migration, over the military coup in Chile in 1973 imposed a development project from foreign debt and dependence through their foreign corporations were making Chile a country with fewer and more services industry.

The international trend was emerging as a territory to Chile where he also played speculators and investors. A country fit for business . This integration of Chile to the globalization of capital, demanded that cities set up their infrastructure more traffic than production.

The construction of major urban roads that copied models of cities like Los Angeles, New York, Tokyo, Seoul, Mexico City was imposed, mainly in Santiago. But this same construction is detrimental to the earlier project. More roads, more buildings and public spaces mean less trade and plazas, schools or health centers, fewer and fewer social housing development.

The specific case of Peñalolén

Peñalolén In the commune, the land use aims, as proposed municipal, construction of buildings up to five stories. According to villagers, these departments will not respond to the housing needs of over 18 000 relatives living only in the area of \u200b\u200bLo Hermida, made exceeding their ability to pay.

At this point, essentially accuses Peñalolén is being built not according to the peñalolinos, but new residents who have begun installing in the last 20 years in the area of \u200b\u200bthe foothills, known as " New Peñalolén " .

This segregation of the commune to Avenida Tobalaba leaves as a limit of two radically different landscapes it would entail a tug of war for territorial control of the commune. The question to be answered is "depending on which of the two sectors is built Peñalolén if both interest economic opposites?

So far, neighbors have not budge and have already submitted the proposal to the municipality that can be seen in the video that heads this article.
