Abstract

This paper analyses and interprets the socio-spatial effects of the construction of social housing in peripheral municipalities of the Metropolitan Region of Santiago. The main results points to acknowledge that the allocation of low income families in sites that already exhibit disadvantageous conditions is creating a state-led precariopolis, characterized by social exclusion and new forms of inequality in comparison to the existing conditions in the last decades.
