Abstract

The paper describes how recent Metropolitan growth in Santiago de Chile has been marked by the planning
of giant building programmes of a walled-off community planning design. Through a study of the legal
framework within which such initiatives have been undertaken, of an analysis of such of these projects that
are already underway and of the infrastructures and services that their design calls for the author perceives
the emergence of a novel community model that owes nothing to social melding and everything within such
estates to a standardizing and homogenizing not only of housing and those who dwell in them but likewise
of customs and social profiles.
