The conurbation process of Greater La Serena Orellana-Mc Bride, Alejandro Guillermo Metropolization intermediate urban systems, morphology Greater La Serena metropolización sistemas urbanos intermedios morfología Gran La Serena Metropolization can be understood as a phenomenon where a functional urban unit structures, controls and specializes a territory. In large South-American cities, the first metropolitan areas emerged from an accelerated urban growth of industrial cities that absorbed smaller urban centers until forming polycentric cities, that currently show noticeable phenomena of fragmentation and sprawl. In Chile, in recent decades, other important urban units have been forming, setup as metropolitan areas due to the interrelation of intermediate cities. These entities do not necessarily fit the same model as the traditional models of the subcontinent, and they require a specialized study of their phenomena. Taking the case of Greater La Serena, this research studies the formation process of a postindustrial metropolitan area, analyzing the evolution of its urban morphology, the planning and the urban events that have outlined its evolution.The results show that the configuration of Greater La Serena, although based on a series of State urban interventions carried out in the mid-20th century, is developed by spontaneous conurbation processes, starting from fragments that have been merging into a continuity, repeatedly breaking through urban boundaries, and forming an initially fragmented metropolization. La metropolización se puede entender como un fenómeno en que una unidad urbana funcional estructura, controla y especializa un territorio. En las grandes ciudades de Sudamérica las primeras áreas metropolitanas surgieron a partir de un crecimiento urbano acelerado de ciudades industriales que fueron absorbiendo centros urbanos más pequeños hasta conformar sistemas policéntricos que actualmente evidencian marcados fenómenos de fragmentación y dispersión. En Chile, durante las últimas décadas, se han ido formando otras unidades urbanas de importancia, configuradas como áreas metropolitanas desde la interrelación de ciudades intermedias. Estas entidades no responden necesariamente al mismo modelo que los referentes tradicionales del subcontinente y se requiere un estudio particularizado de sus fenómenos.Tomando el caso del Gran La Serena, esta investigación estudia el proceso de conformación de un área metropolitana postindustrial, analizando la evolución de su morfología urbana, la planificación y los hechos urbanos que han delineado su evolución. Los resultados dan cuenta que la configuración del Gran La Serena: si bien se sustenta en una serie de intervenciones urbanas ejecutadas por el Estado a mediados del siglo XX, se desarrolla por procesos de conurbación espontánea, a partir de fragmentos que se han ido fundiendo en una continuidad, superando reiteradamente los límites urbanos, y conformando una metropolización inicialmente fragmentada.
