Abstract

It confronts some irnportant aspects in officially approved projects for the city and micro-region of Santiago since 1960, with the corresponding concepts explicit and globalized today in sustainability. It tries to overcome the reductionism found in the few brief analysis of recent years about it, and a more balanced assessment of relevant experience of Chile, at times the need for a more informed participation in ongoing discussions for a "new planning" of human settlements and liveable areas. We conclude that despite methodological limitations and information resources at the time of its formulation, the bodies charged in the conceptual planning, representan early stage of a-mature discourse about sustainability today.
