Abstract
Territorial planning instruments normative-regulatory plans and metropolitan-level community, have shown a limited capacity to take the sustainability of urban growth, a situation that has been expressed particularly in process changes or updates to the same instruments in Santiago Chile. The choice of housing population size, from city block to instances of densification in height, and the significant shortage of green areas, and its unequal distribution, or the absence of a strategic geographical awareness about the new scale city-region is becoming the capital, are some aspects that account for the lack of coordination between urban planning and regional sustainability. This article critically examines the growth and development planning of the city, considering aspects of the institutional setting and citizen, of the dislocations engendered and some opportunities to be implemented in the future in this perspective.
