ROMERO-ARAVENA, Hugo y MENDES, Flávio Henrique. The Social Construction of Urban Climates and Its Relation to the Covid-19 Pandemic in Santiago de Chile. Cuad. Geogr. Rev. Colomb. Geogr. [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.2, pp.376-395. Epub 27-Ago-2021. ISSN 0121-215X. https://doi.org/10.15446/rcdg.v30n2.88701.
Santiago de Chile, like all Latin American cities, registers important socioclimatic differences in its interior that result from the appropriation, privatization, and commoditization of climates due to the lack of adequate urban planning and management and the exercise of power by the real estate market, characterizing a study object proper of critical physical geography. Surface temperature conditions, land covers and uses, urban morphology and ventilation simulations at neighborhood scales represent significant levels of ENVIronmental segregation and injustice inside the city. The conditions of origin and diffusion of the Covid-19 pandemic are spatially correlated with such urban climatic differences and with socioeconomic determinants that have been built together with the city that require specific and massive public actions to reverse the current scenario of socioclimatic unsustainability and injustice.
Highlights: research article about comparison of socioclimatic conditions that have been built in neighborhoods in the city of Santiago de Chile, allowing us to understand the potential for the occurrence of adverse effects on the quality of life of its inhabitants and on the origin and spread of Covid-19.
