Chile es un país en crecimiento, donde la provisión de vivienda ha impulsado un fuerte desarrollo en el mercado inmobiliario. En el año 2012, 3.500 unidades de vivienda se vendieron en el país. La mayoría de ellas asociada a la tipología de barrio. Este patrón de crecimiento se encuentra muchas veces vinculado a la expansión del suelo urbano, con un fuerte impacto en su entorno físico-natural y social, así como un incremento en el gasto de energía y materiales. Diversas estrategias se han efectuado para mitigar los efectos de este desarrollo, basadas en la idea de aplicar criterios de sustentabilidad a proyectos urbanos, particularmente a partir de nuevos barrios. A pesar de ello, en el ámbito nacional no existe consenso respecto a cómo lograr barrios sustentables, y tampoco se cuenta con una herramienta de evaluación establecida con la cual medir el mérito de tales proyectos en términos de su contribución al desarrollo sustentable. El presente artículo se propone entender hasta qué punto estándares internacionales son factibles de ser implementados en proyectos nacionales de barrios, a partir de una revisión de los referentes internacionales más divulgados, para luego ahondar en sus ventajas y dificultades de ser transferidos al mercado inmobiliario.

Chile is an emerging nation where the provision of housing has prompted the development of the real estate market. During 2012, 3,500 housing units were sold in the country. Most of these dwellings are associated with the neighborhood typology. Such a growth pattern is often related to the expansion of the city, has a strong impact on its physical-natural and social environments and implies an increase in the consumption of materials and energy. Different urban sustainability strategies —which are especially focused on new neighborhoods— have been developed in order to mitigate the effects of this development. However, there is no national consensus on how to produce sustainable neighborhoods nor is there an assessment tool which might measure the contribution of these projects to sustainable development. Through the review of international sources this paper seeks to understand the extent to which international standards could be implemented in local neighborhood projects. Then, the advantages and difficulties related to the transferring of these standards to the real estate market are further explored. |
