Abstract This paper presents the results of an investigation intended to disclose the various forms through which urban space has been produced in Santiago’s outer limits. With that purpose in mind, two settlements built by the end of the 1950s were analyzed following Lefebvre’s theory of production of space (2013): La Victoria, and San Gregorio. They both constitute appropriate examples of emerging new agents in urban space in Chile during the 1950s, and of their ways of producing urban space in Santiago’s periphery, methods whose objective was to gain State recognition as formal urban settlers, a status they aspired to achieve through a fair deal during the process.

Keywords : Production of urban space; urban peripheral areas; urban settlers; right to the city; Santiago; Chile.
