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. Esta investigación se centra en la experiencia territorial de los migrantes extranjeros y residentes autóctonos en barrios de la comuna de Santiago. Se plantea que desde el punto de vista de las características del territorio, éste constituye una realidad que nos remite permanentemente a la estructura social, a los códigos culturales de la colectividad que lo habita, quienes a su vez despliegan sobre él un conjunto de sentimientos, imágenes y reacciones ante el nuevo residente inmigrante. En este contexto la convivencia, el intercambio y la llegada de inmigrantes de diversos lugares, han conformado en los contextos receptores un paisaje urbano heterogéneo, en el que las desigualdades sociales, políticas, culturales, entre otras, han desembocado en una ocupación desigual del espacio, surgiendo así una nueva expresión de vulnerabilidad urbana y conformándose ciudades fracturadas y polarizadas. En una aproximación cualitativa de territorios, barrios, vecinos (autóctonos e inmigrantes) de la comuna de Santiago, se evidenció que la concentración de población inmigrante repercute en la relación con la territorialidad representada en el espacio local/barrial e impacta en la calidad de vida de quienes las componen.
