SECTION B DETAILS OF THE PROJECT

B1

Please provide a brief summary of the project in simple prose outlining the intended value of the project, giving necessary
scientific background (max 500 words).
This research addresses the methodological proposals of Henri Lefebvre in his work named "The urban
revolution." In this book, he establishes critical perspectives of urbanism in neoliberal societies.
The urban society expresses its class struggle through spatial distribution. Santiago is the most segregated
city among the OECD members. For Henri Lefebvre, the space is a social and political construction.
However, in Chile this concept contrasts with the last 25 years, where every realm of the society has been
aiming towards the creation of a more inclusive and equitable nation with the exception of urbanism. This
social project has not transformed how urbanism has been producing the city. Considering that Chile was
an experimental field to implement the neoliberal ideals developed by Milton Friedman, separating the
transformation of society from urban design is a mistake and it deserves a critical reflection. In order to
guide this analysis, The urban revolution written by Lefebvre in 1970 provides an appropriated framework
to understand the gaps and to build interpretations of the reasons behind the segregation of Santiago.
To narrow down this theoretical approach there is a case study analysis developed through a fieldwork.
This process will analyse the differences between an urban design projects built in a rich district compared
with a project developed in a poor district. The presentation of wide differences based on spatial
segregation expressed through the quality of the urban life will provide critical insights. The hypothesis is
that this situation implies a catastrophic fail of urbanism in Santiago, reinforcing one of the main arguments
of "The urban revolution": The urbanism conceived like so, aims towards spatial segregation and towards
the lost of an urban experience where the whole society receive benefits.
The research question is:
What contradictions can be detected in the spatial production of scarce resource districts of Santiago that
demonstrate a crisis of urbanism, based on "The urban revolution" as an analytical framework?
Using "The urban Revolution" as a methodological instrument to understand the manner how municipalities
produce urban projects may offer several reflections about the problem of segregation in Santiago, and
also provide a fruitful field to test Lefebvre's arguments. The application of this book as a methodological
approach to understanding urban design failure is an unprecedented approach in Latin America, which
would provide new interpretations to redefine the role of urbanists in the pursuit of just cities. Accordingly
with the methodology proposed by "The Urban Revolution," this research aims to produce a dialectical
analysis of urbanism in Chile, which currently have become a blind field.
The objectives of this research are:
! Produce a methodological tool to analyse the urban life critically, based on "The urban revolution" as
main theoretical resource.
! Advance in the understanding of the spatial segregation of Santiago, following a neo-marxist
approach based on Lefebvre's thought.
! Unveil the logic behind the spatial production leaded by local authorities, mapping the procedures to
implement urban projects.
! Contest the disciplinary division between planning, urban design, architecture, economy, and
sociology; in order to produce a comprehensive reflection of the urban production processes in local
scales.

B2

Briefly characterise in simple prose the research protocol, type of procedure and/or research methodology (e.g.
observational, survey research, experimental). Give details of any samples or measurements to be taken (max 500 words).

This research starts with literature review, which aims to build a theoretical framework in order to set a
theory of "The urban revolution" as a source of critical analysis and then apply this analysis in the
fieldwork, then contrasting theory with reality.

The research protocol in the fieldwork has four different stages:
1. Meeting authorities and specialists:
These authorities are urban designers, planners, mayors, NGO heads, and community leaders.
1.1. Semi-structured interview with specialists and authorities
30 minutes
The aim is to present trigger questions that will commit the specialist to talk about some topics that are
relevant to guide the research in the field.
1.2. Questionnaires to specialists
20 minutes
This questionnaire is with alternatives, and the goal is to receive comparable data from authorities about
the problematic in question.
2. Debriefing the data collected
One of the most important concerns of this research is the use the possibility of share the information
collected, discussing it with people that know the study cases.

2.1. Workshop with urbanism students
It aims to present the collected data and preliminary reflections to develop a process of argumentations in
a dialectical manner, getting some direct feedback of the research process and outcomes so far.
2.2. Publishing a reflection of this two first experiences
It attempts to present the reflections of the segregation problem in Santiago after discussing it with
specialists and in the workshop. The idea is published it in Spanish in order to receive feedback and
discussions from the actors involved in the field.
3. Qualifying the study cases
The aim is to produce a bank of data based on primary source collections of the study cases.
3.1. Collecting information:
This is the first process of hard data collection based on pictures, maps, sketches, documentation, news,
newspapers, existent surveys of the area, plans, programmes, and projects.
3.2. Survey to users of study cases:
A short questionnaire of no more than 10 minutes per interviewed. The aim is to create a qualitative
ordination about opinion of users of these spaces, and how they perceive the urban life there.

4. Socializing the results before return to London
As stated above, it will be important to share the information collected, and the preliminary ideas presented
in the field. This is the last part of the fieldwork.
4.1. Lecture of the preliminary outcomes of the research to receive feedback in the fieldwork.
The researcher will develop this lecture, and it will have two anchor discussants, to question the advances
and trigger public discussions of the preliminary outcomes.
4.2. Publishing a reflection of the process as a contestation of the publication made in the stage 2.
The aim of this publication is left a discussion in the field, which remains open after my return to London.
Once in London back, the process will be do data analysis and write the thesis based on the theory and in
the experiences and data collected in the fieldwork.
Attach any questionnaires, psychological tests, etc. (a standardised questionnaire does not need to be attached, but please provide
the name and details of the questionnaire together with a published reference to its prior usage).

Detalles del estudio: El estudio en el que se est involucrando pretender desarrollar una perspectiva critica de las razones que hacen de
Santiago una ciudad segregada. Su visin especialista es fundamental para discutir la construccin terica desarrollada previamente en
esta investigacin. Con su visin, se avanzar hacia un enfoque coherente y anclado en la realidad.
Este es el resumen ejecutivo de la investigacin:
La investigacin utiliza las propuestas metodolgicas desarrolladas por Henri Lefebvre en su obra llamada "La revolucin urbana." En
este libro, el establece perspectivas criticas acerca del urbanismo que se esta desarrollando en sociedades capitalistas. La sociedad
urbana expresa su lucha de clases en la distribucin espacial y Santiago es la ciudad mas segregada dentro de los miembros de la
OCDE. Considerando que Chile fue un campo experimental para implementar las economa neoliberal, separar la transformaciones
sociales que eso conlleva del diseo urbano constituye un error y merece una reflexin critica. "La revolucin urbana" ofrece un marco
apropiado para comprender los vacos en este mbito, acotando la discusin hacia entender las razones detrs de la segregacin en
Santiago.
Para aterrizar esta discusin terica, se realiza un estudio de casos en terreno. Este proceso analizar la diferencia entre un proyecto de
diseo urbano desarrollado en una comuna de altos ingresos con una comuna de bajos ingresos dentro del rea metropolitana de
Santiago. La aplicacin de este libro como un enfoque metodolgico en Latino-Amrica para comprender la segregacin espacial
constituye un aporte nico al conocimiento regional.
Siguiendo lo propuesto en "La revolucin urbana", esta investigacin apunta a producir un anlisis dialectico del urbanismo en Chile, que
actualmente cuenta con campos ciegos que merecen ser develados.

1. Recently Santiago was called as the most segregated city among OECD countries. Based on your expertise, what is your main
reflection about this declaration from the urbanists role in the production of space?
1. Recientemente Santiago fue nombrado como la ciudad mas segregada entre los pases de la OCDE. Basado en tu experiencia
profesional, Cual es tu principal reflexin en relacin a esta declaracin, referido al rol de los urbanistas en la produccin del espacio?


2. Lefebvre talks about blind fields in the urbanism, meaning that there are systematized phases in urbanism that lack critical reflection.
Instead, these phases make that you just need to strictly follow the steps in order to deliver an urban project, which excludes the whole
complexity that should involve the urban production.
Let's land this idea, what is your point of view of this statement of Lefebvre? How can we interpret this affirmation in the production of
space segregated in Santiago?
2. Lefebvre habla sobre campos ciegos en el urbanismo, queriendo decir que existen fases sistematizadas en los procesos propios del
urbanismo que carecen de reflexin critica. Por el contrario, estas fases hacen que urbanistas sigan un estricto paso a paso para lograr
desarrollar un proyecto urbano, lo que deja de lado toda la riqueza y complejidad que debera involucrar un proceso de produccin
urbana.
Aterricemos esta idea, Cual es su punto de vista en relacin a esta declaracin de Lefebvre?
Como podemos interpretar esta afirmacin en la segregada produccin espacial de Santiago?


3. In "The urban revolution" appear three levels of analysis of the urban: Global, focused on the power structures and the centralized
institutions that decide about the future of the city (Ministries, State Buildings, The congress, Cathedrals); Mixed, referring to public
spaces such as streets, roads, pavements, schools, parks; and finally, a private level referring to the dwelling, which also is
subordinated with the other levels.
In your specialist opinion, how these three levels express the segregation in the city as Santiago?
3. En "La revolucin urbana" aparecen tres niveles de analisis de lo urbano: lo Global, enfocado en las estructuras de poder e
instituciones centralizadas que deciden el futuro de la ciudad, tales como ministerios, edificios estatales, el congreso, las catedrales.

4. Let's explore a problematic urban situation linked with the mixed level mentioned before, which is the wide difference of quality
between a public space in a rich district with the quality in a poor district.

calidad que existe entre un espacio publico en una comuna rica con un espacio publico en una comuna pobre.

5. This question has two parts. "The urban revolution" claims for a new urban society as consequence of a disciplinary revolution, where
instead of specialization of disciplines, there is a crosscutting approach to the urban phenomena, where the multidisciplinary reflection
and projection, he says, results to be a better way towards the real urban life, or the good city production. The first question is: How you
think that the urban production in Santiago poses a multidisciplinary approach to develop public spaces?
So secondly: Do you think that this multidisciplinary reflection would be positive or negative and why?
5. Esta pregunta tiene dos partes. "La revolucin urbana" demanda una nueva sociedad urbana como consecuencia de una revolucion
disciplinar, donde en vez de la especializacion disicplinaria, existe un enfoque transversal al fenomeno urbano, donde es la reflexion
multidisciplinaria y su consecuente proyeccion resultan en la creacion una nueva y mejor manera de lograr una verdadera vida urbana,
es decir, una buena ciudad. La primera pregunta es:
Cmo cree usted que la multidisciplinariedad de los procesos de desarrollo de espacios publicos se ve reflejado en Santiago?
Y una segunda pregunta: Cree usted que estos potenciales procesos multidisciplinarios son positivos o negativos?, Por qu?

5. In "The urban revolution", Lefebvre proposes three concepts that I would like to deepen with you:

Activate the urban problematic as a vital part of political agendas in order to transform social injustices.
Self-management of the space, which must go from private level to global level.
The right to the city, specifically related to allow to every dweller of the urban to have access to the benefits of urban life.

5. En "La revolucin urbana", Lefebvre propone tres conceptos que me gustara profundizar con usted:

Activar la problemtica urbana como parte vital de las agendas polticas hacia una transformacin de las injusticias sociales
Promover la autogestin del espacio, la cual debe ir cambiando de nivel desde el privado, pasando por el mixto, hasta llegar al global,
incidiendo tambin en las economas que se generan en dichos niveles.
El derecho a la ciudad, especficamente relacionado con lograr que todos los habitantes tengan acceso a los beneficios de la vida
urbana.
