Las agrupaciones vecinales en defensa de los barrios: La construcción política desde lo local

Abstract

The massive construction of buildings in some communes of Santiago, the construction of haighways or the widening of streets are some public and/or private interventions that have aroused the uneasiness of their neighbors. They have organized themselves into neighborhood groups which have gained prominence in e local discussion on urban development in recent years.This article proposes a conceptual line to read these groups from the heterogeneity of their discourse, for understanding their collective action and their effects on the urban agenda.
