CAMPOS, Alicia; HARRIS, Ronald  and  GONZALEZ, Daniel. Artesanos La Unión y Emilio Delporte. Neighborhood-garden and cooperativism in the first periphery of Santiago. Estoa [online]. 2021, vol.10, n.20, pp.209-229. ISSN 1390-9274.  https://doi.org/10.18537/est.v010.n020.a11.

Located in the current district of Independencia and Providencia - the first periphery of the city of Santiago - the Artesanos La Unión Village and Emilio Delporte housing complexes, both built in 1926 and 1929 respectively, represent cooperative initiatives in which we can recognize local adaptations of the garden city. In the context of a siege produced by the change of residential model towards a collective high-rise housing, it is pertinent the appreciation of these complexes through its knowledge and conceptualization. In reviewing the historical perspective of the housing problem for workers in Chile, in which emerge both complexes and their comparison in the light of the notion of “garden- neighborhood” created by Monserrat Palmer, we will conclude with a reflection on the residences’ hygienic values and their validity today.

Keywords : neighborhood-garden; cooperativism; urban periphery; residential models.
