Paradero 14

Abstract

Paradero 14 of La Florida is a commercial sub-center of Santiago, interchange hub between the center and the southern periphery of the city. This research aims to complement the studies that have been made of the place proposing a systemic vision that understands the different elements that give character to the space used by the users who visit the place. The focus is on the different commercial typologies complemented by transport infrastructures, which, along the historical evolution of the sub-center, have conditioned the intense use of the spaces of Paradero 14. This study seeks to contribute to the investigation of urban sub-centers that define important interchange hubs, and the way in which these places should develop harmoniously with the city and its inhabitants.
