| 總結: | This article suggests a new approach to the alliance formed between modern urbanism, urban renewal and road infrastructure in reformist Santiago. The text examines the consensus that public and disciplinar opinion ignited the construction of a highway through the city’s downtown. The text refers to the type of questioning that the project incited early on. The physical characteristics can be understood as early forms of mitigation of the project: (a) the road is built at street level, but in its extension by the microcenter it is deliberately sunken (as opposed to elevetad), and (b) in its central axis the route triggered a fiscal strip for the construction of a future metropolitan line. Although it was not an international innovation, the combination of the two transportation means on the same highway provided infrastructural qualities that, for an independent observer, could moderate its intrusive nature. The Corporación de Mejoramiento Urbano was headed by a team of skeptical architects facing the most orthodox modern urbanism. |
