“…Furthermore, as the vast extent of urban soil in Santiago is privately owned and their prices controlled by the market, people living in less developed municipalities will be unlikely to ever amass economic resources necessary to afford migrating to the richer municipalities that concentrate development opportunities [12]. Public housing projects have also been planned under the logic of market land prices under neoliberal policies, which means that the vast majority of housing projects are located on less expensive lands at the fringes of lower income municipalities [24,71,73]. Although the overall level of development can improve across the board, our data shows that income and access to development assets opportunities are positively correlated.…”

“…Whereas some authors suggest that high levels of spatial segregation in Santiago contribute to consolidating income inequalities [21], others argue for the lack of evidence to support this claim [24,25]. Reasons proposed to explain the prevalence of income inequalities in Chile include unequal access to quality education and health services, concentration of wealth and political power in the elite, and disempowerment of civil society and civic institutions [26][27][28].…”

Breaking Resilient Patterns of Inequality in Santiago de Chile: Challenges to Navigate towards a More Sustainable City

Abstract:Resilience can have desirable and undesirable consequences. Thus, resilience should not be viewed as a normative desirable goal, but as a descriptor of complex systems dynamics. From this perspective, we apply resilience thinking concepts to assess the dynamics of inequality, spatial segregation, and sustainability in Chile's capital city of Santiago. Chile's economy boosted since democracy was restored in 1990, but continuity of neoliberal reforms and transformations of Pinochet's dictatorship (1973)(1974)(1975)(1976)(1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990) seem to have locked Chilean cities in resilient, albeit unsustainable, patterns of uneven development. Socio-economic data from Santiago shows highly resilient patterns of urban inequality and segregation from 1992 to 2009 despite democratic efforts, political agendas and discourses packed with calls for reducing poverty and inequality. We present a conceptual model based on the notion of stability landscapes to explore potential trade-offs between resilience and sustainable development. We mapped Santiago's spatio-temporal inequality trends and explored if these patterns support an inequality-resilience stability landscape. Analysis of temporal and spatial distribution of development assets across four human development dimensions (i.e., income, education, health, democracy) revealed potential socio-political and spatial feedbacks supporting the resilience of inequality and segregation in Santiago. We argue that urban sustainability may require breaking this resilience, a process where bottom-up stressors such as social movements could play a key role.

“…La mayor tradición se encuentra en los Estados Unidos, donde Jencks y Mayer (1990) publicaron una exhaustiva revisión bibliográfica que compila resultados que confirman la existencia de impactos significativos del vecindario sobre los comportamientos de niños, adolescentes y jóvenes (Molinatti, 2013 (Molinatti, 2013;Cunha y Jakob, 2010;Flores, Wormald y Sabatini, 2009;Kaztman y Retamoso, 2005;Perelman, 2011;PNUD, 2009), a un conjunto de comportamientos considerados de riesgos (deserción escolar, inactividad juvenil y embarazo adolescente) en niños, adolescentes y jóvenes (Molinatti y Peláez, 2012;Collado Chaves, 2003;Kaztman, 1999;Sabatini, Wormald, Sierralta y Peters, 2009;Sierralta Jorquera, 2008), entre otros (Molinatti, 2013).…”

“…A juicio de los autores esta ausencia es un hecho alentador, en parte explicado por lo relativamente reciente de los procesos de ghettización de los barrios populares en Santiago (Sabatini et al, 2009;Sierralta Jorquera, 2008).…”

“…Estos resultados coinciden, parcialmente por la diferencia de métodos utilizados, con los alcanzados por otras investigaciones que incluyen la composición social del contexto residencial como elemento explicativo de la fecundidad en la adolescencia (Kaztman, 1999; Molinatti y Peláez, 2012); aunque no con otros observados en la ciudad de Santiago de Chile (Sabatini et al, 2009;Sierralta Jorquera, 2006). Un resultado interesante es el que surge de la comparación entre las zonas clasificadas como BajoBajo y Bajo-Alto, es decir, entre aquellas con mayor homogeneidad y concentración de hogares con clima educativo muy inferior a la media local, y aquellas donde estos hogares se encuentran próximos a otros con mejor clima educativo.…”

Este trabajo tiene por objetivo contribuir en los esfuerzos teóricos y analíticos dirigidos a investigar los efectos que la segregación residencial socioeconómica tiene sobre la reproducción adolescente –porcentaje de adolescentes entre 15 y 19 años que tienen al menos un hijo nacido vivo– en la ciudad de Córdoba (Argentina). Se trabaja con información proveniente del Censo Nacional de Población y Vivienda de 2001, desagregada a nivel de radio censal. Los riesgos de ser madre en la adolescencia, según la zona de segregación donde estas adolescentes residen se estiman a partir de modelos de regresión logística, ajustados, según variables sociodemográficas. Los resultados alcanzados en este trabajo sugieren que las probabilidades de ser madre entre los 15 y 19 años se encuentran significativamente influenciadas por el contexto residencial donde viven las adolescentes, más allá de las diferencias observadas a nivel individual y del hogar. Mientras que en las áreas con alta concentración de hogares con clima educativo alto, el riesgo de ser madre adolescente disminuye en promedio un 54% respecto al conjunto de radios censales más heterogéneos, en las zonas caracterizadas por un contexto residencial opuesto dicho riesgo aumenta casi un 13%. Estas evidencias destacan la importancia de la inclusión de los contextos residenciales en los diagnósticos y en el diseño de políticas públicas orientados a la salud reproductiva y sexual de las y los adolescentes, ya que posibilita captar su heterogeneidad y diversidad socioculturales.

Socio-Economic Residential Segregation in Greater Buenos Aires: Evidence of Persistent Territorial Fragmentation Processes

Socio-economic residential segregation is a common feature of almost all Argentinean cities, neatly divided into poor, middle-class, and affluent neighborhoods. At the end of the 1980s, and especially over the 1990s, the process of suburbanization for affluent and upper middle-class groups was consolidated as a generalized model. This study concentrates on the trends and the patterns of socio-economic segregation in Buenos Aires and focuses on two major dimensions of segregation: the spatial concentration patterns of a given social group in specific areas and the degree of social homogeneity within such areas. Socio-economic segregation is described using the highest level of education that a householder has completed as a proxy for socio-economic status. The indices of segregation and dissimilarity are used as the main measure to compare the level and changes of residential segregation but other metrics—such as location quotient index—are also used to estimate the degree of homogeneity or heterogeneity in neighboring areas. This study uses population and household census data from 1991, 2001, and 2010 provided by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC), and the data are presented at the spatial disaggregation level of block groups called ‘radios censales’.
