description It has been almost six decades since The image of the city of Kevin Lynch became a key methodology in the global academia to understand the morphology of the city. Although this concept remains within the current urban principles and also applies to the processes of design and improvement in neighbourhoods and cities, new approaches are required to include the actions of the residents and their own imaginaries. This article debates the application of the urban image from a dynamic vision, emerging from Lynch (1995) to be applied in the current socio-spatial practices of Latin American migrants in the inner city, and how their urban imaginaries are transformed into cultural assets. Located on Maruri Street, in Santiago of Chile, a multidisciplinary qualitative approach is proposed which combines the classic analysis of the urban image of Lynch (1960) with the ethnographic study in this historical area, including the migrant resident's everyday life and visualizations in the public space. The results show that these socio-spatial practices of migrants as new inner residents help to amplify the sense and use of the street, re-activating transitional spaces such as the facade and tree strips with new uses that increase both neighbourhood activity and cultural integration. It is concluded that “image and imaginary” require a closer and better relationship to be included in urban regulations and planning in terms of social integration and specific neighbourhood improvement programs.

Han pasado casi seis décadas desde que La imagen de la ciudad de Kevin Lynch lograra posicionarse en la academia global como una metodología relacional para entender la morfología de la ciudad. Si bien este concepto se mantiene dentro de las premisas urbanas vigentes y con aplicación sobre los procesos de diseño y mejoramiento en barrios y ciudades, se requiere de nuevas visiones que integren el actuar de los residentes, retratadas por medio de sus propios imaginarios. El presente artículo posiciona el debate y la aplicación de la imagen urbana desde una visión dinámica, emergida desde la revisión del propio Lynch (1995) que permite aplicarse en las actuales prácticas socioespaciales de migrantes latinoamericanos en centros urbanos, y cómo sus imaginarios urbanos se transforman en activos culturales. Situados en la calle Maruri, en Santiago de Chile, se adopta un enfoque cualitativo multidisciplinar que combina el análisis clásico de la imagen urbana de Lynch (1960) con registros visuales en esta área central, de manera de comprender la experiencia del residente migrante respecto de sus apropiaciones del espacio público. Los resultados muestran que estas prácticas socioespaciales de los migrantes, en tanto nuevos residentes, están permitiendo amplificar el significado y uso de la calle, reactivando espacios de transición como la fachada y la platabanda con nuevos usos que prolongan la actividad barrial y la integración cultural. Se concluye que el vínculo entre “imagen e imaginario” requiere una relación recíproca e indisoluble para ser transformada en normativa urbana y, de esta forma, permear en la planificación urbana en materia de integración social y programas específicos de mejoramiento barrial.
