The neoliberal spatiality of social housing production in the metropolitan areas of Valparaíso and Santiago (1990-2014): for the ideological construction of a human face?

Abstract Beyond the doctrine, neoliberalism is shown as an ideology of spatial production that has begun to take over the meaning of social demands, such as the right to the city and spatial justice, converting these demands into a "human face" that legitimizes real estate production in the scope of capitalist accumulation. This paper aims to investigate official discourses involved in the generation of this facet, observing their results in social housing policies in Santiago and Valparaíso within the indicated period. Finally, this type of spatial production is questioned, emphasizing neoliberal hegemony and its role in the management of a new neoliberal State in Chile.
