Tendencias recientes del crecimiento metropolitano en Santiago de Chile. ¿Hacia una nueva geografía urbana? De Mattos, Carlos Fuentes, Luis Link, Felipe Given the context of widespread urban development observed in most parts of the world, this paper aims to examine whether this trend has manifested itself in the growth of the Metropolitan Urban System of Santiago (SUMS). The authors analyzed the main trends observed over the last two decades, with particular attention to urban sprawl and the recovery of growth in the central area of Santiago. The information analyzed leads to the conclusion that the dominant trend of urban growth is still the expansion of the SUMS; it is also concluded that there is a recovery of some of the central municipalities. These are complex phenomena in which territorial dispersion and re-centralization are complementary to each other and characterized by unequal urban development patterns. Frente a la tendencia hacia lo urbano generalizado que se observa actualmente en la mayor parte del mundo, este trabajo tiene el propósito de analizar si esta tendencia también se ha manifestado en el crecimiento del Sistema Urbano Metropolitano de Santiago (SUMS). Para ello se analizaron las tendencias dominantes observadas en las últimas dos décadas, prestando especial atención a los fenómenos de dispersión urbana y recuperación del crecimiento de algunas comunas del área central de la ciudad de Santiago. Al respecto, la información analizada permite concluir que la tendencia dominante de crecimiento urbano continúa siendo hacia la expansión del área urbana del SUMS, al mismo tiempo que también se puede comprobar la recuperación de algunas de las comunas centrales, en un fenómeno complejo en el que dispersión territorial y re-centralización, aparecen como fenómenos complementarios y caracterizados por un patrón de urbanización desigual.
