Cómo vamos a vivir juntos?
No full textThis book by Alejandro Aravena explores the critical question of coexistence in modern societies, particularly in the context of urban planning, social participation, and the collective challenges we face in the 21st century. The book originates from a keynote speech given by the author at the Chilean Constitutional Convention in 2021, where he reflected on the future of society and urban development over the next century.
Drawing from his extensive experience in architecture and participatory design, Aravena presents key lessons learned through real-world projects and community engagement. These principles emphasise the importance of inclusive urban planning, equitable resource distribution, and the balance between regulation and self-regulation. The book argues that solving complex social issues requires more than just good intentions. It demands a deep understanding of diverse perspectives and a willingness to embrace dialogue and collaboration.
A central theme is the idea that neither the market nor the state alone can provide sustainable solutions for urban and social challenges. Instead, the book advocates for a "third way" that trusts in people's agency, acknowledging their role as active contributors to the built environment rather than passive recipients of top-down policies. The text highlights the need to shift from mere tolerance to genuine admiration for cultural diversity, particularly in the context of the Chilean-Mapuche relationship. To this aim, the author explores the potential of indigenous knowledge, historical negotiation practices, and the power of storytelling in shaping a shared future.
By blending architectural insight with sociopolitical analysis, this book serves as a manifesto for collective responsibility, urging readers to rethink how cities, policies, and communities can be designed to foster sustainable and harmonious living conditions

No full textImpact of the governance system on sugar consumption patterns in the Chilean population
No full textBackground: Excessive sugar consumption is a risk factor for several health conditions. Governance systems shape dietary behaviours through complex context-dependent mechanisms. Chile has passed legislation to promote healthier eating, allowing its study in the Chilean context.
Aim: To determine the role of the governance system in shaping sugar consumption patterns in the Chilean population from a systems thinking perspective.
Methods: A mixed methods study using a systems thinking approach was undertaken. The qualitative stage included an analysis of lobbying practices by the food industry and a rapid qualitative analysis of documents and stakeholder interviews on policymaking processes to reduce unhealthy eating, which informed the creation of a causal loop diagram of the Chilean governance system and its impact on sugar consumption. The qualitative findings were used to develop a proof-of-principle agent-based model to simulate purchasing behaviours of high-in-sugar foods.
Results: Food industries extensively lobbied the Chilean government to nurture corporate reputation and influence legislation. Characteristics of the governance system and policymaking mechanisms shaped sugar consumption patterns through legislation affecting the access, availability and affordability of sugary foods. Reinforcing feedback loops prioritising economic goals influenced by neoliberal ideology created food systems promoting unhealthy diets. Barriers to public health legislation include government fragmentation, food industry influence, and a neoliberal political mindset. The analysis identified several leverage points including using existing legislation to propose new policies, focus on more powerful high-level legislation (i.e. laws), developing supporting coalitions, using research to support policymaking efforts, regulating food industry influence, strengthening civil society participation, and monitoring to update policies in dynamic contexts.
Conclusion: Governance systems influence sugar consumption through complex pathways. Eating patterns depend on which pathways dominate. To promote healthier eating, action is needed at different levels of the system together with regulation of industry actors. Governmental institutions have a key role leading these efforts
