Santiago: Main problematic issues

Santiago is the capital of Chile and like a globalized capital city, has a lot of problems that affect his entire population. Firstly, It’s the most concentrated city in Chile and all the spaces are hyper populated, it’s common to see in these days how big structures are rising up everywhere lodging a thousands of people in each one, in very narrow spaces.

Secondly, Santiago has a stress of “green areas” for the same reason that I mentioned in first place, the huge zones of built areas have reduced the natural landscape to a little portion of the city. In some communes (generally the poorest ones) the percent of parks or squares are greatly reduced in comparison with the percent related to the built areas, for this reason everyday we see a scenery all in grey colors.

Finally, the city of Santiago it’s a so globalized one that all the events on it happen extremely quickly and the people tends to be always stressed. And as we know, the stress bring with it the anger and the disgust. For example, when you do something as simple as shopping or when you’re using the public transport you could see how hard-set  people are and how they fight with any other for no reason at all. 

As a conclusion, Santiago has a lot of social issues mainly derived from his condition of a capital that has been insert in a context of globalization characterized by accelerated flows and a need for inmediacy, and it's so true that in this days its kind difficult to us live here, but we have to acclimate anyway and try to improve our territory as much as possible must be our purpose too.
