Description
Summary:This article presents the case of a public space project in Recoleta, Santiago de Chile, which consolidates and generates a longitudinal and integrated green spatiality of different urban scales and social groups. Focusing on the problems and challenges of urban integration, the text reviews the historical evolution and the 9year process of the project, proposing an analysis of two areas of integration: socio-spatial integration and the challenges of sectoral integration and of the different levels of decision making involved in an urban intervention. The analysis addresses the planning stage and the commission formulation of the project; urban management from the local level; and, the design strategy of the public space to achieve an integral design and a landscaping proposal that values the natural attributes of the place, incorporating the use of native flora that is still incipient in our country.
