Peter Calthrope talks

Peter Calthrope talks about urban problems in the city, what happened in the world, and the incredible population growth has caused different problems in the cities, for example, the constructions of gigantic buildings, which cause congestion and lack of equipment for the great amount of people. lives in a small area, also the cities become little passable and the green areas become smaller and smaller. 

This is the problem of the previous results. Santiago is going through the same process, although we have large areas of green areas such as O'Higgins park or Santa Lucia hill or San Cristóbal, the density that Santiago is suffering is incomparable. 

Life and the relationship that takes place in a small-scale neighborhood is disappearing, we become more and more individualistic and less dependent on the rest. 

The intention of the construction in height isn’t bad, it’s about solving the problem of exposing the city and the transformation into something unreliable, but the construction in uncontrolled height is the problem, you can not promote the construction of buildings or 30 or of 20 floors, buildings of maximum 10 floors would be ideal. 

Housing sets of these characteristics, with green spaces or recreation, keep neighborhood life and don’t stop interacting with others.
