description Urban studies related to sustainability are undergoing a phase of rich experimentation, with the exploration of different methodologies which aim to deal with current and future impacts of climate change in cities. This involves new challenges for the redevelopment of urban areas. Such challenges are especially relevant in times when major urban transformations are occurring in the global south. This article aims to elaborate a methodology to explore and evaluate the sustainable potential of the urban form in neighbourhoods of intermediate scale cities. The methodology addresses six criteria related with sustainability of the built environment: scale, accessibility, diversity, connectivity, density and nodality. This methodology is applied in a neighbourhood in the city of Temuco in southern Chile. The results show the importance of building adaptability to generate diversity of uses, which in turn promotes greater sustainability of the urban form. On the other hand, the over-density of population and housing in residential lots decreases pedestrian accessibility in the interior streets, while vertically mixed use and the variation of densities in urban blocks continues to be the best response to promote social interaction and high collective activity in the urban space. The article concludes on the operational value of the methodology and reflects upon future advances to promote the development of more sustainable urban forms in the intermediate cities of southern Chile.

Los estudios urbanos relacionados con sostenibilidad están pasando por una fase de enriquecedora experimentación. Esto, con la exploración de diversas metodologías inspiradas en hacer frente a los impactos significativos, actuales y futuros del cambio climático en ciudades, que plantea nuevos desafíos para el desarrollo de áreas urbanas. Tales desafíos, son especialmente relevantes en tiempos cuando importantes transformaciones urbanas están en curso en el sur global. El siguiente artículo tiene por objetivo elaborar una metodología para explorar y evaluar el potencial sostenible de la forma urbana en barrios de ciudades de escala intermedia. La metodología aborda seis criterios de entorno construido relacionados con sostenibilidad: escala, accesibilidad, conectividad, densidad, diversidad y nodalidad. La metodología se aplica a un barrio en la ciudad de Temuco en el sur de Chile. Los resultados muestran la importancia de la adaptabilidad edificatoria para generar diversidad de usos a nivel de manzana, lo que a su vez promueve una mayor sostenibilidad de la forma urbana. Por otra parte, la sobre densidad de población y de vivienda en lotes residenciales disminuye la accesibilidad peatonal en las calles interiores. Mientras que el uso mixto vertical y la alta variación de densidades en bloques de manzanas continúan siendo la mejor respuesta para promover la interacción social y la alta actividad colectiva en el espacio urbano. El artículo concluye sobre el valor operacional de la metodología propuesta y respecto a los desafíos futuros para promover el desarrollo de formas urbanas más sostenibles en ciudades intermedias del sur de Chile Universidad Diego Portales Proyecto Fondecyt Iniciación 11160096, Conicyt Chile 2019-12-19 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://www.revista180.udp.cl/index.php/revista180/article/view/474 10.32995/rev180.Num-44.(2019).art-474 Revista 180; Núm. 44 (2019) Revista 180; Núm. 44 (2019) 0718-669X 0718-2309 spa https://www.revista180.udp.cl/index.php/revista180/article/view/474/429 https://www.revista180.udp.cl/index.php/revista180/article/downloadSuppFile/474/457 https://www.revista180.udp.cl/index.php/revista180/article/downloadSuppFile/474/1092 https://www.revista180.udp.cl/index.php/revista180/article/downloadSuppFile/474/1093 https://www.revista180.udp.cl/index.php/revista180/article/downloadSuppFile/474/1094 https://www.revista180.udp.cl/index.php/revista180/article/downloadSuppFile/474/1095 https://www.revista180.udp.cl/index.php/revista180/article/downloadSuppFile/474/1096 https://www.revista180.udp.cl/index.php/revista180/article/downloadSuppFile/474/1097 https://www.revista180.udp.cl/index.php/revista180/article/downloadSuppFile/474/1098 https://www.revista180.udp.cl/index.php/revista180/article/downloadSuppFile/474/1099 https://www.revista180.udp.cl/index.php/revista180/article/downloadSuppFile/474/1100 https://www.revista180.udp.cl/index.php/revista180/article/downloadSuppFile/474/1101 Copyright (c) 2019 Revista 180 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
