“…Rivera-Ottenberger, 2008), as well as to the Quiero mi Barrio programme, a national urban redevelopment scheme that gives prominence to citizen participation (cf. Kabisch et al, 2011). However, while the long-term success of participatory efforts of this kind has yet to be proven, many stakeholders in our study strongly doubted an increase in civil society influence.…”

Taking Santiago de Chile as an example, this practice review explores urban policy-making and spatial planning in a globalized city. Based on an empirical study, it presents insights into the experiences, observations and recommendations of urban development stakeholders from the public, private and civil society sectors. First of all, the article highlights the main characteristics of public policies and spatial planning in Santiago as well as their relevance in the process of urban development. Second, it examines the sociopolitical conditions that either facilitate or hamper policy and planning efforts. The contribution concludes that if the task of improving urban policy and planning is to be taken seriously, it must go hand in hand with addressing overall problems of urban governance.

“…We selected these municipalities by dividing the 38 municipalities of the GMAS into five municipal clusters based on their location as well as socio-structural and socioeconomic characteristics (see Kabisch et al, 2012). The selected pericentral municipalities form a semicircle around the center of the metropolitan area, the municipality of Santiago.…”

“…These projects, aiming to create socially mixed housing projects for different strata of the population, have, so far, faced only limited success, with just seven projects being realized in the periphery of the GMAS by 2009 (Czischke, 2010). In sum, even while subsidies have been reformulated and increased, social housing policy still relies on the same market mechanisms, with access facilitated via demand-based subsidies (Brain et al, 2009;Kabisch et al, 2012;MINVU, 2010).…”

“…In the Greater Metropolitan Area of Santiago de Chile (GMAS; see Kabisch et al, 2012), this effort led to the construction of social housing in locations with sufficient quantities of cheap urban land. These sites were usually located on the periphery of the city, particularly at its southern and western edges.…”

“…It is in the municipalities around the center of Santiago de Chile-in the so-called "pericentral municipalities" (Kabisch et al, 2012)-where this revised social housing policy faces its largest challenge. In a significant number of these municipalities, the poverty rate exceeds the capitals average of 11.5 percent (MINDS, 2012).…”

In the Chilean housing sector, the combination of free-market imperatives guiding investment decisions and a long tradition of social housing subsidies has generally had remarkable success in quantitative terms but has also contributed to the large-scale segregation of poor families on the urban periphery. With the goal of a better socio-spatial mix and, ultimately, social integration, the Chilean government recently revised its guidelines for housing subsidies, promoting small-scale social housing in central locations. This paper examines the early effects of this new housing policy in a cluster of the so-called "pericentral" municipalities in Santiago de Chile. Specifically, it raises the question of whether the policy has a chance of achieving its objectives in light of prevailing free-market conditions. We demonstrate strong interrelations between the current dynamics of real-estate investment and government-led housing programs which together continue to promote uneven socio-spatial development and segregation of the urban poor on a smaller scale.
