| Sumario: | In Chile, the discussion around precarious housing has focused on informal settlements and social housing, not considering until now the new vertical residential production as a typology subject to link to the theoretical and analytical category of precariousness. However, in light of the new verticalization processes that are being developed in communes of the Metropolitan Area of Santiago de Chile, specifically in the commune of Estación Central (30-story towers, 1,000 apartments, 37 apartments per floor, 1 elevator each 259 apartments and 30 m2 average total area), it is proposed to think of the dynamics of verticalization as precarious processes, rather than in the usual register, linked to urban renewal. Based on the above, it is invited to think of precariousness rather as a process, under a neoliberal context that results in new “edges, margins or reversals” of precariousness, not analyzed for Chilean cities, approached from 4 dimensions : physical, economic, political and social. These “edges, margins or reversals” of precariousness, would also be showing a paradox to the extent that precariousness would be occurring precisely in territories with greater real estate development, being therefore, urban policy a producer of precariousness under the figure of apparent development. |
