This has been possible thanks to political, social and economic conditions. Likewise, in the case of urban environmental conditions, a “green imaginary” based on living in spaces surrounded by nature emerges in large part of the population. These conditions have triggered an unequal distribution of environmental characteristics, because when urban management is controlled by the private sector, the elite is the only group with access to green areas. This research seeks to identify urban nature as a real estate “consumption instrument”, as well as the implications of this concept on the distribution of the environmental conditions in Santiago de Chile. To this effect, the urban space in capitalist cities is regarded as a link within the platforms for wealth accumulation. In addition, this paper shows the perspective of offered/used imaginaries in the housing sector as a central issue to complete this accumulation platform. La mercantilización e instrumentalización de diversos elementos y procesos naturales ha condicionado perfectas plataformas para la acumulación de riquezas. Esto ha sido posible en la medida que existen las condiciones políticas, sociales y económicas para que suceda. Además, en el caso de las condiciones ambientales urbanas, se suma un “imaginario verde” en un amplio espectro de la población, la cual presenta un gran interés por vivir en espacios dotados de naturaleza. Estas condiciones han determinado que en las ciudades se desarrolle una desigual distribución de las condiciones ambientales, dado que cuando la gestión urbana queda en manos del sector privado, sólo las elites con poder adquisitivo pueden acceder a áreas verdes y al arbolado urbano. La presente investigación busca reconocer a la naturaleza urbana como un “instrumento de consumo” inmobiliario, así como sus implicancias en la distribución de las condiciones ambientales en Santiago de Chile. Para esto se reconoce el espacio urbano en ciudades capitalistas como un eslabón dentro de las plataformas de acumulación de capital. A su vez, se integra la perspectiva de los imaginarios ofertados/empleados por el sector inmobiliario como un tema central para concretar la plataforma de acumulación.
