Description
Summary:	The cities, while representing a form of social organization, are also a socially constructed space as well as the scene where the impact of growth and development expresses its dimensions of modernity, inequality, possibilities and crisis. In that sense, it reflects a process of social construction historically contextualized, where multiple actors intervene mobilized by individual targets, which are related and interact on the basis of capabilities and resources, influencing processes of construction or transformation sectors or cities. The city of Concepción, Chile, like the vast majority of urban centres in the country and Latin America, has seen urban informal processes that tell us about social construction of underground movements of the Latin American cities, processes that have been transforming and shaping the image of them. This work, tries to describe the experience of La Costanera, an informal settlement consisting of 2,000 families and that is intervened by a large urban project. Their development, expresses alternative forms of urban governance from the public sector, recognizing and integrating various actors in the process, granting them with unique characteristics.
