Summary
Valparaíso's urban evolution over 200 years reveals a stark pattern of socio-territorial segregation, primarily driven by economic liberalization policies in the last five decades. The study highlights how Valparaíso transitioned from an attractive central area due to its port and financial significance into a fragmented metropolitan area marked by market-driven development rather than planned urban growth. Using Luis Ainstein's systemic approach, researchers analyzed two key sub-stages: exogenous growth, fueled by mineral exports and immigration, and endogenous growth during mid-20th century industrialization and rural-to-urban migration. The work underscores the consequences of economic liberalization since 1973, leading to a discontinuous urban landscape in Valparaíso's metropolitan area.
