Abstract
Chilean cities have had few exceptional moments. The period of the Corporation for Urban Improvement (CORMU) between 1965 and 1975 was one of them. By analyzing the Remodelacion San Borja in Santiago, perhaps the most ambitious project built by the CORMU during Frei Montalva's term, this text reminds us that when utopias were not yet replaced by pragmatism, architecture schools did contribute to the construction of the city from the state's apparatus.
