Abstract

One of the essential roles on the neoliberal State is land management, because from it,
the State can configure the strategies of social welfare and private investment. In Chile, this model of
spatial production is based on a robust structure of subsidiary assignation: the same that has tried to
be adjusted to the idea of sustainability, which has colonized both academia and public policies. So,
this has stressed the relationship between the green line in urban development and the demand for
a residential habitat based on equity. The present work proposes a critical review and analysis on the
dimensions of equity and sustainability (measurable in terms of access and presence of basic services
and green areas) which configure the fiscal instruments for the acquisition of housing. This analysis
reveals that the alleged compatibility between a sustainable urban development model and the
provision of new residential habitats within the territorial framework of Santiago de Chile-the main
metropolis of the country- appears as disjunctive in environmental terms.
