College of Architects in conjunction with the Housing Institute of the University of Chile, with a laudable intention, invited to a forum - discussion entitled: "The City in the voice of the presidential candidates", so that those interested in the fate of our cities and our professional involvement in it, we know a good source of policies and intentions of individual architects posturas.Solemos hear many complain about how bad it is considered our profession, professional over there, poor quality education and architects who are graduating from one of the 44 schools of architecture is in Chile (one every 360,000 inhabitants!), the declining importance of our performance against other offerings in the marketplace, ETC. etc., etc. The question that arises is, what have we blame it?
assistance to the forum I mentioned, I made clear the lack of thoroughness, depth of understanding, poverty of the arguments, the absolute lack of specific and feasible proposals, and the great domain of the "must" on few "how." That is, you have to do this and / or that, but no proposal of what to do implementarlo.A example I will relate some passages so frustrating meeting. It all started with the delay of itself, given the delay in reaching one of the guests. Attended by a representative of each candidate by the candidate except two Marco Enríquez-Ominami (¡!). Part
Among the questions raised the following question: "With regard to segregation by market deregulation and free markets what urban policy apply?". Arrate candidate's representative said that "policy should be designed (plop! I imagined that at this point the candidate's professional group would have it defined). That seek to define land use planning, not profitability (Will measured the externalities that are generated and who affect?). The expert proposed to establish a fund to improve habitat popular, to define its origin and who you subtract as well as what effect it could generate. It was also mentioned citizen participation in all were named but which, in my view, is like "quality of life" that is all but nothing, because it demonstrated how little we have measured this effect. One example is the failure of the referendum of Vitacura, where it is assumed that people voted fairly educated and informed. Then spoke one of the representatives of ME-O, who said that "the candidacy invites reflection" (again plop!, For the same reason as above). He added: Fix
exclusive model (it is).
We must consider how human settlements living conditions (should be).
Change management model with strategic regional planning authority that replaces the master plan (must be).
value community as the basic unit of living and participation (what?).
Metropolitan Government is proposed in the big cities.
The latter is an idea shared by all representatives of the four candidates. It would be interesting to know how they will react to the various ministers when they say that they will lose power, because different SEREMIS now they receive orders from the new authorities metropolitan. Recall that when a Metropolitan Mayor Ricardo Lagos's government tried, the then Minister of Minvu reacted strongly against it and all was representative of the candidate nada.El Piñera, who was himself accused of being "cookie" since he was replacing another person who could not attend, citing the pending issues listed on public transport, roads, pollution, neighborhood conflicts, inadequate management of public spaces, lack of receipt of assets, lack of green areas, social segregation, waste treatment, lack of sustainability and mismanagement of the urban landscape, among others. Only mentioned as a long laundry list, informing us of a diagnosis rather was a reminder of things missing in the last 20 years of rule by the same coalition. Then indicated that coordination was required of public institutions, accused the lack of urban development policy and planning levels. He accused the need to develop an urban renewal development. Once again, many "must" and zero "how." As the end of this part corresponded to the candidate's representative Frei. He began telling us the audience, "the lack of a national debate" (plop!), Then said: "We let them do and have weak institutions and instruments," and added that it required an urban policy that aims to recover the areas "weakened" (should be). Also said to be strengthening the instruments of the state. He stressed that "we want a policy that considers the rights of the city by promoting social improvement" is once again part que.Segunda This time the topic was housing and urban living in the presentation of which the interviewer introduced the topic first stating his opinion (the question implies a view of the interviewer of the Institute of Housing). The person said that access to urban land is assumed as a product for the market and makes it be placed in soil quality, generating pobreza.A ghettos then asked the representatives present: how and by what mechanisms the government can regulate the land market urban?, What are your criteria for housing design quality poor?: what is your position on the housing debtors?
representative responses Arrate:
mentioned that the errors committed by the current administration of the Coalition are shown with the location of housing developments in areas at risk, as is the case of three housing complexes social in the town of La Ligua.
now the turn of one of the representatives of ME-O:
noted a supporter of the market, but that requires a State to coordinate, monitor and order in terms of the collective good (what?).
The state should participate in capital appreciation.
Regulatory plans to consider housing and pay for the losses they generate. Be paid with the proceeds of capital appreciation.
shared the housing demands of debtors have been induced by a bank loan (it was the only one who answered the question on this topic.)
representative then presented Piñera:
equipment is proposed social housing, building them in the housing complexes that already exist and suffer from it.
revitalize neighborhoods are in accordance with their users.
200 new spaces will be built.
parks are run with public funds. Whereas
who this time represented the nomination was the manager of the Chilean Chamber of Construction, we must assume that you know how to do these deals.
Finally, the representative of Frei:
be promoted a policy of urban regeneration, with intermediate level to improve services and parks.
a policy to solve housing problems in their neighborhood.
is usually not replied as asked by the interviewer. Each one said what he wanted. Then he consulted on the issue of citizen participation, in which, to varying degrees, everyone agreed, citing the words of good crianza.En short, nothing new under the sun, the same OFERTON and nothing concrete, without indicating how to fund , showing the desired objectives and strategies to carry it forward. There came a finished program theme. Again. Apparently the city and its suffering citizens will have to wait for a leader who put the city as the setting for mostly develop, grow and live humans.
