- ItemIntersections. Interdisciplinary Research on Architecture, Design, City and Territory(Springer Cham, 2025) Vicuña del Río, María Magdalena; Giorgi, Emanuele; Corvalán Tapia, Felipe; Molinos Moyano, Francisca Jesus; González Valenzuela, Paulina Francisca; Castillo Espinoza, Eduardo; Torres, Claudia; Gallardo, Laura; Lange Valdés, Carlos; Maino, Sandro; Bergamini Ladron De Guevara, Kay Joaquin; Ángel Hernández, Piroska; Mollenhauer Gajardo, Katherine Alexandra; Medina Guzman, Jose Ignacio; Rugiero De Souza, Vanessa; Igualt, Felipe; Moreno Flores, Osvaldo; Arizaga, Ximena; Sánchez, Patricia; Vicuña, Magdalena; Giorgi, EmanueleThis book presents a critical vision of the role of architecture and design in constantly changing cities, territories and societies from a Latin American perspective. Topics include, pandemic and post-pandemic; public culture and aesthetics; right to housing, city and services, gender approach and ethics of care; heritage and cultures, critical methodology; sustainable landscapes; perceptions and emotions; processes and technologies; territories and intermediate cities. The IV Intersections Congress was organized by high-level universities in Latin American: faculties of architecture, design and urban studies that came together during an historical moment of great changes. The congress was an invitation to weave conversations that address the tensions emerging in local, regional and global debates, with the goal of understanding how architecture, design, city and territory are a relevant intersection for these tensions. This translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
- ItemAccessibility and ageing neighbourhoods: a cluster-based taxonomy to promote ageing in place(2025) Vecchio, Giovanni; Medina de Cortillas, Diego; Steiniger, Stefan; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile; CEDEUS, Chile; Pontificia Universidad Católica de ValparaísoAgeing in place is an established policy option to adapt existing urban settings to the needs of an increasingly older and rapidly ageing population. The possibility to access facilities and services is fundamental in this sense, but accessibility to relevant urban opportunities changes according to the places taken into account, affecting a neighbourhood potential for promoting ageing in place. In this paper, we aim to identify typologies of ageing neighbourhoods according to the access they provide to significant places and services. We propose a taxonomy based on (1) the concentration of older people, (2) their socioeconomic standing, (3) the amount of opportunities available within walking distance, and (4) the possibility of reaching public transport as a precondition to access valued opportunities in other areas of a city. Our analysis focuses on Santiago de Chile, a metropolis representative of other unequal, rapidly ageing Global South urban settings. We identify ageing neighbourhoods using hierarchical cluster analysis, and we define six categories according to the access they provide to relevant urban opportunities. Such accessibility-based taxonomy of ageing neighbourhoods can be relevant for promoting ageing in place cities, identifying what planning and policy actions are better suited to enhance accessibility to urban opportunities.
- ItemAl plan, plan. Instituciones y planificación urbana en Chile(Ril-Colección Estudios Urbanos UC, 2025) Vecchio, GiovanniLa planificación urbana parece ser una disciplina con amplios márgenes para mejorar, especialmente en Chile. A las limitaciones estructurales de la planificación se suma la necesidad de enfrentar problemas inéditos por su complejidad, mientras las instituciones encargadas de planificar pierden legitimidad ante la ciudadanía. En un contexto que cuestiona la eficacia de la disciplina, el libro analiza las respuestas que la planificación logra dar (o no) a ciertos problemas públicos, adoptando una mirada institucionalista y analizando procesos de planificación emblemáticos a lo largo del país. Sus capítulos se enfocan en la inercia institucional, las coyunturas críticas y los conflictos judicializados, para finalmente plantear la necesidad de una planificación antifrágil. A partir de los aportes de las teorías de la planificación, el libro interpreta las dinámicas de la planificación urbana en Chile y traza pistas hacia prácticas capaces de adaptarse a contextos socio-institucionales cambiantes, argumentando que es posible —y necesario— planificar para definir soluciones capaces de cuidar los lugares que habitamos.
- ItemVivienda asequible: aprendizajes desde Barcelona y Londres(Centro de Desarrollo Urbano Sustentable, 2020) Fuentes Arce, Luis Alejandro; Ruiz-Tagle Venero, Javier Ignacio; Valenzuela Ormeño, Felipe Eduardo; CEDEUS (Chile)Este documento presenta la experiencia reciente de Barcelona y Londres para nutrir la discusión sobre la implementación de una política de vivienda asequible en Chile. Los casos estudiados inducen a avanzar en la implementación de un modelo de vivienda en alquiler protegido.
- ItemBikesharing and ordinary cyclists from Chile: Comparing trips, attitudes, and health-behaviours(2024) Mora, Rodrigo; Miranda Marquez, Sebastián; Truffello Robledo, Ricardo; Sadarangani, Kabir P.; CEDEUS (Chile)Bikesharing helps citizens solve “the last mile” problem actively and healthily. However, these schemes tend to be located in the affluent and central areas of cities and often demand users to pay by credit or debit cards that are typically out of reach for poor groups, especially in developing countries. Consequently, bikesharing tends to reproduce existing inequalities in cities, leaving vulnerable groups and those living in poor areas with no option to ride bicycles. This study compares bikesharing users and ordinary cyclists from Santiago de Chile in terms of their sociodemographic characteristics, health status, transport-modal patterns, attitudes, and perceptions toward cycling and bikesharing infrastructure. In all, 1272 adult participants (569 bikesharing users and 703 ordinary cyclists, 63% males) responded to a 12-min survey in Santiago de Chile. The main findings show that bikesharing users reported higher educational levels and car ownership than ordinary cyclists, made shorter trips, and cycled less often than ordinary cyclists. However, using shared bikes permits them to comply with nearly 53% of their weekly physical activity recommendations, as nearly 40% of bikesharing trips would be otherwise made by car. Bikesharing users also tend to visit central areas of Santiago and rarely visit less central and affluent zones.
