Region of contrasts, a region of mountains and seas. Curiously unequal, as Voltaire Alvarado expresses at the beginning of the conversation, the fourth interviewee in our podcast “15 minutes for the city.”<\/b> And why curious inequality? Not viewed from economic, social, political, or cultural dimensions, but from the very surface of the region, the mountain territories, the intermediate zone with intermediate cities, and the coastal part, which is also divided between the urban metropolitan area and the province of Arauco, starting from Lota. <\/p>\n

And our Gran Concepci\u00f3n has a new history, having two relatively new communes: San Pedro de la Paz and Hualp\u00e9n. This has forced a rethinking of urban and segregation margins, both forced and induced. This dimension is, for Voltaire, clearly a condition of existence for Chilean cities, and notably in the capital of Biob\u00edo. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

I have the impression that in the case of Gran Concepci\u00f3n, there is an important alternative to recovering what the city is. One very interesting thing is how nature is within the city or how it moves around it. How the people of Concepci\u00f3n and nature itself coexist. Asking people about their relationship with nature and what they feel nature demands of them is necessary. <\/span><\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>
