FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE ...

From your armchair brilliant academic researchers, urban planners can reconcile our successful theories about the city?
These days some "citizen activists "We had an exchange with a prominent and very young city planner, an equally prominent academic but ancient capital's architecture faculty. Beyond naming names, what is notable scholars in the city, is the difficulty grounded in reality contingent of what is today Chile ...

Every time we hear voices coming from the academia, instead of leaving us full and enlightened by his wisdom, many of us left with the feeling of impunity and indolent exercise of segregation and urban discrimination also affects and dominates the thinking wisdom learned from our developers, because this gap also marginalizes them to properly soak the practical reality that most of those who inhabit large cities, endure or suffer.
What they cry out loudly to these outstanding planners Creole is diving, from time to time, by way of experimentation at least, in the popular stock Santiago, incorporate into your routine what the average person, as for example the epic of dawn to take the kids to school by bus and then go and return by the same means to hit every day shopping for the week in Central Vega, stretching to the last drop the household budget, living in a small, hot apartment in a block in some communities near Santiago ...
Finally, beyond the natural impact of the devices means uprooting everyday comfort Once the mind and soul have been sufficiently foguear the chaotic urban bustle Santiago, could move to Stage 2 of the experiment, which is-as it does now more studious-establish some analysis and comparisons, as is to carry during those trips, pictures of streets, taken just a couple of years ago, I realized how little or nothing remains of them, attend to any session contemplatively a municipal council in any Mayor of Panama City, to see who and how we represent or spend the time honored our respected councilors and mayors, voting budgets expensive, while the streets are flooded in winter and Penan souls in a summer without trees, standing beside a while inn a Municipal Works Department, to see how swarm, such beehive estate agents separately, making it pass with smiles, "towers clones" to infinity; attend a neighborhood council meeting, where almost always discuss the mayor ride, so generous he will organize for housewives to Cartagena for a day. This way of exercise, among many ...
In short, will there be to organize a workshop on the ground, so that these men illustrated awaken from their slumber a little theoretical, at least for a few moments, feeling the real smell that permeates This decimated cities Chile?
