Abstract

Contemporary urban growth adopts fragmented and sparsely dense patterns. The process has been taken as a general rule within a neoliberal state model, which, far from restricting the expansion of the urban by occupation of the rural space, promotes it by deregulating the use of undeveloped land. The ratification of state participation in the construction of this phenomenon requires the analysis of the tools that make it possible. Thus, using a methodology that includes the examination and comparison of normative bodies becomes inescapable to reveal the degree of administrative collaboration that, by action or omission, supports the production of residential space. Therefore, the objective of this study is to corroborate the generalized tendency towards the normalization of the diffuse city, which today is widely supported in Chile, reinforcing an advanced stage of a process which Spain is beginning to experience.
