    THE ARCHITECTURE OF DENSITY
    (UNIV DIEGO PORTALES, 2017) Mora, Rodrigo; Greene, Margarita; Figueroa, Cristhian; Rothmann, Carlos
    The need for more dense and vital cities has been promoted by academia since the 1960s and by international organizations since the 1980s. On the other hand, the last census showed that the district of Santiago started gaining population, a process not seen since 1970, while peri-central districts exhibit high real-estate dynamism. In spite of this, the densification of residential areas is increasingly resisted by traditional residents, for whom the high-rise tower, the typical way to densify cities in Chile, is a detriment in their quality of life.
