    Cultura de cohesión e integración en las ciudades chilenas
    (2012) Wormald Delpiano, Guillermo; Flores Cordero, Carolina Andrea; Sabatini Downey, Francisco; Trebilcock Gac, María Paz; Rasse Figueroa, Alejandra Paz
    This research posits that the degree of spatial proximity and social contact among people sharing diverse socioeconomic levels defines social cohesion, that is to say, the norms and values that generate attitudes and behaviors conducive to the survival and development of a society. The main question of this article lies in the possibilities for the strengthening of social cohesion offered by a) current ways of integration and coexistence in different public and institutional spaces within the urban context; b) willingness to have a greater level of social contact; and c) the value given to the existing opportunities for contact. The hypothesis is that a society offering higher and valued contact opportunities among different groups would show a tendency to be more cohesive in a less conflictive context, so long as people take such opportunities. An exploratory qualitative approximation to families from different social backgrounds belonging to the Metropolitan Region of Santiago suggests a limited awareness of the experiences of those of different socio-economic backgrounds. Such heterogeneity occurs mostly in regulated public spaces, where contact may be expected to be uncomfortable and conflictive. This is why indifference appears as a predominant element. In this case, heterogeneity is the consequence of other decisions.

    Entre el Estado y el mercado : resonancias geográficas y sustentabilidad social en Santiago de Chile.
    (2000) Sabatini Downey, Francisco; Arenas Vasquez, Federico Alberto
    The authors argue that the results of the post-1973 market-oriented urban policiesin Santiago have been strongly conditioned by the "geographical resonance," orspatial imprint, of the earlier state interventionism, as well as by the "borderspaces" product of urban development between the city’s poor areas and today’sexpanding modern neighborhoods and commercial areas. Urban policies have nosimple or direct impact on the city as implied nowadays by the popular approach of"territorial impacts" of capitalist restructuring and globalization, or in the projector policy assessment methodology, that is part of the private and public forms ofurban management. Geographical resonances and border spaces could even furtherparadoxical results, some of which are discussed in the article. The attention paidto these spatial complexities could provide better assessment of urbanmanagement initiatives and of the peculiarities of each city

    Territorial identities in Chile: between globalization and regionalism
    (Universidad de Barcelona, 2011) Sabatini Downey, Francisco; Arenas Vásquez, Federico Alberto; Nuñez González, Andrés
    Las transformaciones económicas, sociales y políticas contemporáneas, resumidas en la idea de globalización, plantean dudas sobre la vigencia de la regionalización chilena y, en general, sobre las nociones tradicionales de región. La desadaptación de las estructuras institucionales frente a los cambios aparejados a la globalización, la difícil articulación de decisiones que involucran distintas escalas espaciales de gestión y la mutación de las identidades sociales territoriales, se cuentan entre los factores detrás de dicho cuestionamiento. En este trabajo hacemos foco en las identidades territoriales emergentes, tanto para explicar la crisis de la regionalización como para evaluar las nuevas expresiones de regionalismo que pudieran sostener proyectos nacionales de desarrollo.
