El suelo en la disputa por la reconstrucción urbana: Chillán, 1939

Abstract

Instead of a common good, urban land is a place for territorial, economic and even ideological dispute. Studying the reconstruction of Chillán after the 1939’s earthquake –a naturally caused tabula rasa that offered the perfect opportunity for introducing modern urbanism– this text delves into the frictions between the possibilities of city planning and the safeguard of land ownership.
