| Sumario: | These ten appraisals attempt to introduce so many complementary topics in an attempt to outline Valparaiso’s cultural landscape, each one of them fusing text and drawings. The essay outlines the area of Valparaiso where the cliff meets the coastal plain. This area that coincides with the oldest urban development’s reveals the dynamics of urban transformation -improvements as well as decay- as well as the repercussions of a topographical chasm that defies the urban connectivity’s, the infrastructural prospects, and the consolida- tion of the urban soil. It argues that because of these challenges this area exhibits Valparaiso´s inventiveness at its best. The essay´s structure begins exposing some thoughts about the issue of identity and also an update about the extensive informal areas that characterize the cities upper reaches, to follow with topics specifically related to the urban chasm. Terracing, hanging gardens, funiculars, public stairs, promenades collective dwellings and typologies thus describe significant topics drawn from this particular topographical fabric. The text finalizes with an overview of the urban chasm as an accident of profound consequences in the making of the city |
