Industria y habitar colectivo

This book is the collective result inserted in the project CONICYT-PIA Soc 1403 "Industrial heritage: ways of collective inhabiting in the south of Chile. Contributions for its value and integrated recovery ", and arises from the concern shared by a group of professionals from different areas of knowledge about the importance of the processes that make up urban space through their ways of inhabiting them. And this is because we observe with concern that, at the present time, we are facing an asymmetric tension between the prophetic modernizing advances and the need of the inhabitants of certain neighborhoods to value, to conserve, their collective memory. Diagrammed according to an inhabited territory, appropriate and projected towards a future. We settled from the crossroads of cities and their inhabitants, living periods of high fragmentation and great uncertainties, by the expansion and real estate development and environmental deterioration, which puts us at a critical moment of transformation. Hence the importance of assuming a perspective that puts the emphasis on the enhancement of patrimonial value, as a social tool that emerges from the inhabitants to rearticulate links between the territory and those who inhabit it on a daily basis.
