Remodelación San Borja: el laboratorio de sueños urbanos

Modernizing Santiago in the 1960s was no easy task for a poor country like Chile. The San Borja Remodeling project, Chile's first high-rise neighborhood and CORMU's flagship project, became an urban laboratory that, through the ideas of the modern movement, sought to build affordable housing with luxury standards. How did this ambitious project end? I'll show you in this video. *The former market was named after Juan Antonio Ríos, not José Antonio 😬 Other videos you might like: KPD: The buildings that were built in 16 days:    • KPD: los edificios que se construyen en 16...   Thousands of empty apartments: What's happening at Estación Central?:    • Miles de departamentos vacíos: ¿qué pasa e...   This is how Santiago has progressed in social projects:    • El impresionante avance de Santiago con pr...   My Instagram:   / sokolovcl   What's inside: 00:00 San Borja: A Laboratory of Urban Dreams 01:59 The 60s: The Historical Context 03:26 What was CORMU: the Urban Improvement Corporation? 04:17 Baquedano Tower: The Inspiration for the San Borja Remodeling 05:01 The Modern Movement in the Chilean Context 06:26 Skywalks: The Neighborhood's True Gem 07:40 Why Were People Afraid to Move Here? 08:26 Affordable Housing with Luxury Standards 09:51 What Was Planned vs. What Was Done 11:40 University of Chile School of Architecture and Urban Planning 17:05 San Borja Park 17:52 We Enter Tower 12 / The San Borja Remodeling from the Inside 20:05 Why Does the Neighborhood Look So Neglected Today? #chile #santiagodechile #santiago
