Abstract

The relevance of this research focuses in two main components; the historical one, which has
allowed valuing the experience of territorial and urban planning carried out by the State of Chile in its
mature stage (1950-1979) at intercommunal scale in Concepcion (1963), the second Chilean metropolitan
area after the capital city of Santiago. And at territorial and urban sustainability level, in which -based on
this study- a set of sustainability criteria has been emphasized to contribute to the discussions on a new
planning. The hypothesis of the work sustains that the measures taken by this metropolitan project had
a great vision of the future, showing the early application of several general criteria of what - since the
1980s- is systematized as sustainability. Thus, the first planning of the metropolis of Concepción was
ahead of its time, and in coherence, therefore, with its time horizon of application in 1993. The research
methodology was of the qualitative type, comparing the general criteria of territorial and urban
sustainability, in various authors, with the measures taken by the project, captured from the memories,
plans and ordinance of the Intercommunal Regulatory Plan of Concepción 1963.
