Abstract: Santiago de Chile's development has been intimately tied in with the country's general state of affairs and that political and economic way of things that this has imposed. The measures of control have never kept in step with the unplanned development of the city, the first interventions undertaken being no more than a transforming and tidying up of already established districts. The second batch of plans divided up the city in terms of functions and, of late, inter-communal planning has come to the fore, this being a primitive metropolitan planning technique brought in the hope of meeting the problems of a city mushrooming across various zones, all of which lack self-correcting mechanisms up to curbing the consequences of this sort of unshaped spread. The technique holds centre stage in present day chilean town country planning.
