This challenge has not been addressed so far as a result of its methodological and interpretation complexities. Through the comparative analysis of the Urban Life Quality Index (ICVU) and Urban Integration indices raised from the System of Urban Development Indicators and Standards (SIEDU), three key dimensions are addressed: sociocultural conditions, connectivity and mobility, and housing and environment. The results confirm in the case of the three metropolitan areas of Chile that urban integration is not necessarily expressed as the result of a better quality of life, opening an important question about the scope that a good endowment of public and private goods and services may have in order to guarantee a greater degree of integration in neighborhoods and municipalities, at least at the metropolitan level. Additionally, the importance of the geography of the metropolitan areas is revealed, due to some conflicting results obtained, generating a significant contribution for the design of public policies before their next examination in Chile. Este trabajo explora en qué medida la integración urbana se relaciona con una mejor calidad de vida en las áreas metropolitanas de Santiago, Valparaíso y Concepción, desafío no abordado hasta ahora por sus complejidades tanto metodológicas como de interpretación. Mediante el análisis comparado del Índice de Calidad de Vida Urbana (ICVU) e índices de Integración Urbana levantados a partir del Sistema de Indicadores y Estándares de Desarrollo Urbano (SIEDU), se abordan tres dimensiones clave: condiciones socioculturales, conectividad y movilidad, y vivienda y entorno. Los resultados confirman para el caso de las tres áreas metropolitanas de Chile que la integración urbana no necesariamente se expresa como resultado de una mejor calidad de vida, abriendo un importante cuestionamiento sobre los alcances que pueden tener una buena dotación de bienes y servicios públicos y privados para garantizar un mayor grado de integración en barrios y comunas, al menos a escala metropolitana. Adicionalmente, se devela la importancia que reviste la geografía de las áreas metropolitanas, debido a algunos resultados contrapuestos que se obtienen, generando un aporte significativo para el diseño de políticas públicas ante su próximo reconocimiento en Chile.
