Abstract

This article is part of the research project entitled "The old area of La Chimba: in defense of its heritage traces, a neighborhood scale community life and a sustainable environment for the future" (funded through the Universidad de Chile - Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism research fund). A group of undergraduate architecture students revisit a proposition made by Karl Brunner for Recoleta, exploring the possibilities and limitations to achieve a continuity of green spaces between the San Cristobal and Blanco hills, from an urban sustainability perspective.
