| Achoimre: | This paper focuses on the territorial experience of foreign migrants and local residents in neighborhoods located in the municipality of Santiago. It is also proposed that, from the perspective of the characteristics of the territory, such an experience constitutes a reality that constantly makes reference to the social structure and the cultural codes of those living in these spaces, thus giving rise to different feelings, images and reactions which are attached to the new immigrant neighbors. In this context, coexistence, exchanges and the arrival of immigrants coming from different places have shaped a heterogeneous urban landscape in which social, political and cultural inequalities have, in turn, led to the unequal distribution of land, and thus the emergence of a new expression of urban vulnerability and a new type of fractured and polarized city. A qualitative approach to territories, neighborhoods and neighbors (both locals and immigrants) in the municipality of Santiago showed that the concentration of immigrant population affects the relationship with territoriality in local/neighborhood spaces and the quality of life of those living in these areas. |
