In light of the social crisis Chile is currently experiencing, ArchDaily speaks with urban and regional planning specialists to understand its impact on our cities. On this occasion, we speak with Isabel Serra, an architect graduated from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, specialized in public policy, a member of the City and Territory Laboratory (Laboratorio de Ciudad y Territorio) at Universidad Diego Portales, and an academic at the same institution.
Serra argues that student movements in Chile "reveal and anticipate the national agenda," pointing to demands for democracy (during the 1980s dictatorship), educational reform (2006, 2011), feminism (2018), and university student mental health (2019).
