CACERES-SEGUEL, César. Peri-urban social housing in Santiago de Chile: the exclusion at regional scale of the trasurbanita of Santiago de Chile. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.53, pp.171-198. ISSN 2448-6183.  https://doi.org/10.22136/est002017664.

The location of peri-urban social housing in Santiago de Chile has been broadly studied from political and territorial implications, however, little do we know about the impact of urbanization in the quality of life of the inhabitants. By means of interviewing residents of projects located in Lampa, it is suggested the rise of a low-income trasurbanitas. For them, access to a basic wellbeing depends on inhabiting daily fragmented territories between the peri-urban home and central communities of Santiago, where basic services are concentrated. The housing subsidy triggers a regional exclusion of groups inhabiting peri-urban edges lacking in efficient public transport and basic services.

Keywords : social housing; peri-urbanization; quality of life; Santiago de Chile; social exclusion.
