Recovery and safeguarding of industrial heritage. The ex-gas factory San Borja, Santiago de Chile, transformed into the Urban Park of Gasometers
Abstract
The main objective of this work is to explore how industrial heritage of a city neighborhood can be preserved through urban regeneration and development of sustainable urban centers. The case of the Parque de los Gasómetros in Santiago de Chile is analyzed, as an example of revitalization of the industrial heritage of an old gas factory that has become the first sustainable neighborhood in the city.
A review of secondary sources is carried out to analyze the enhancement made by Parque de los Gasómetros and an analysis of the use and positioning of the projects brand image is carried out.
It is concluded that the safeguarding of the industrial heritage together with the development of the new Parque de los Gasómetros Brand has been a contribution to both the inhabitants and the heritage revitalization of the neighborhood, also developing the social integration and balanced density of land use.
