For cities which are constantly affected by unpredictable events such as earthquakes and tsunamis, open spaces acquire a new value beyond their original uses and turn into catalyzing agents in supporting and rebuilding the city. During the earthquake and tsunami on the 27th of February 2010 in Chile, there was a shift from inhabiting in edified spaces to inhabiting the open space on a temporary basis, which raised new urban challenges in its recognition as an urban active capable of absorption and mitigation in case of a catastrophe. Rather than controlling the impacts of a disaster, it is demanded a new vision that aims to develop a system that recognizes environmental fluctuations of a living topography, in addition to providing ecological and environmental sustainability to the territory at different scales, to constitute a paradigm change for planning and urban design of the metropolitan area of Concepción (MAC). |
