last month. Announcing their aim to develop a grassroots plan for the
recovery and reconstruction of Valparaíso, the <em>Coordinadora </em>for
the Defense of Valparaíso also demanded a temporary freeze on
construction permits and the resignation of right-wing mayor Jorge

reads in part. The Coordinadora blames powerful political and economic
interests for the “twin tragedies” of abandonment and real estate
speculation that are destroying Valparaíso, and wants them to be held
accountable.</p>
<p>The <span><span>April 12</span></span>
fire—the worst in Valparaíso’s history—raged for 5 days, scorching more
than four square miles of land on seven hillsides. The conflagration
destroyed 3,000 houses, killed 15 people, and left 12,000 homeless. The
city remained under military control for a month.</p>
<p>Valparaíso, a UNESCO world heritage site, is famous for its unique
topography and architecture, characterized by brightly painted,
improvised wooden houses that climb the steep hillsides, forming a
natural amphitheater that overlooks the port. It is a city of political
contrasts, the birthplace of both Salvador Allende and Augusto Pinochet.
Boasting a strong union base that provided a bastion of popular support
for Allende, it is also the home of the Chilean navy, from which the
<a href="tel:1973" value="+661973" target="_blank">1973</a> military coup was launched.</p>
<p>Today, Valparaíso is an increasingly popular elite tourist
destination, as well as a focal point for Chile’s combative student
movement. Economically, its population has one of the <a style="color:rgb(33,117,155)" href="http://send.zcomm.org/wf/click?upn=9PHos1J7-2FD2Lw6jereECeNLGs3ocss1O2kcgD4VkZGzNB08H5a0-2F7oLbRs6XGH5XMznf-2Bp5RNoDiodwPt5x0EXI-2FwbZm8IcPDUsUohss2dhUj5Baz8MJO4LRK-2FQwDNgrDvwPtJiL-2BjOYgOuNPihY2BtqPr75EXFpslZdSHL-2BQw4-3D_N4B-2Bv1F4-2F1jAyC0cyQWlK1j-2FodWP3k-2B9nh5nJdNMXaLjdw0-2FdEWiT0vnL2i1yOw-2F-2BmmHvE3U6l7mzsNG3L41TvuNduI-2FjmI83hwaQkkTEY8GPCeYIdQlNc5bf1X3BZL5h5qiC9pYGNpeJA-2BugA0WCjOQ8TUY0dn2crMvPj8eff1GOu868kDZAfYCKrvQd6kUc03VdjBwb4kCAEIl694-2BBQ-3D-3D" target="_blank">most unequal </a>income

below the poverty line, compared to a national average of 14%.</p>
<p>Like most South American cities, Valparaíso’s development patterns
reflect its rigid class divisions, with the wealthy occupying the
coastal flatlands in the center and impoverished families spreading out
over the heights on the northern and southern periphery. The areas most
affected by the fire were poor hillside communities, settled by urban
migrant families through a continuing process of land takeovers that has
occurred since the early 1970s. Reportedly, Valparaíso—Chile’s third
largest metropolitan region—has the <a style="color:rgb(33,117,155)" href="http://send.zcomm.org/wf/click?upn=9PHos1J7-2FD2Lw6jereECeNLGs3ocss1O2kcgD4VkZGzNB08H5a0-2F7oLbRs6XGH5XMznf-2Bp5RNoDiodwPt5x0EXI-2FwbZm8IcPDUsUohss2dhUj5Baz8MJO4LRK-2FQwDNgrDvwPtJiL-2BjOYgOuNPihY2BtqPr75EXFpslZdSHL-2BQw4-3D_N4B-2Bv1F4-2F1jAyC0cyQWlK1j-2FodWP3k-2B9nh5nJdNMXaLjdw0-2FdEWiT0vnL2i1yOw-2FV6CTZ5lc9AjIlwBE7tyq7vfOr-2FdBODOgynbAYR4Hch4WIEvcRt3nYTcCtyszi8qMbLQtDc3U11Yh2F2quqiguPmY-2F7WkBSjnaFkBZERR2U8lcWMAyKeMpZKPyqFGetbbF1qY5utn2hOxunTEGpWThg-3D-3D" target="_blank">largest number</a> of <em>campamentos </em>(informal settlements) in the country.</p>

nine campamentos that were completely destroyed by the fire, 83% of the
affected resident households are headed by women, most of whom work in
the informal sector as street vendors or carton recyclers. Sixty percent
of the population is under the age of 30. Many displaced families lack
formal title to their land, potentially compromising their eligibility
for government rehousing and rebuilding subsidies. As a result, they
have chosen to remain camped out amidst the charred remnants of their
homes rather than relocate to temporary government shelters and risk
permanent eviction.</p>
<p>To be sure, fires—fanned by strong coastal summer winds and spreading
quickly over difficult-to-access hillsides—have plagued Valparaíso
throughout its history. In recent years, prolonged drought and
unseasonably high temperatures associated with climate change have
exacerbated the risks of these natural conditions. But, as <a style="color:rgb(33,117,155)" href="http://send.zcomm.org/wf/click?upn=9PHos1J7-2FD2Lw6jereECeNLGs3ocss1O2kcgD4VkZGzNB08H5a0-2F7oLbRs6XGH5XMznf-2Bp5RNoDiodwPt5x0EXI-2FwbZm8IcPDUsUohss2dgJ6gbOW0AnH7AfOS1ISdn3L2scvLp0eKZFUdD8amZqIya4vjSoFPk0pXm5OIwX-2F6A-3D_N4B-2Bv1F4-2F1jAyC0cyQWlK1j-2FodWP3k-2B9nh5nJdNMXaLjdw0-2FdEWiT0vnL2i1yOw-2FDN85qMwgGCO2uN22zxZkF7VBlPGrobEUOQbyZZykHRbK-2F70WtdJdKKP853Q6SDB0cCKy-2BHI8ZvKkyy80zAvUbbp-2BlGnEUgA-2BQJlT7UiDbuy8UkLLWEXLdpgX-2FJ4OBLPDAkDk68WzXLkKZ1i6pCexuA-3D-3D" target="_blank">Sebastián Gray</a>,
president of Chile’s College of Architects, notes, the recent fire also
represents a colossal political failure of the state in terms of urban
planning, design, infrastructure, public services, and regulation. “The
fire is the result of a complete lack of [governmental] responsibility
that has accumulated over the past 40 years, as the city has grown,”
Gray charges.</p>
<p>Apart from regularizing some land titles, according to Gray, the city
has done little to address the problems caused by unregulated
peripheral growth. It has not discouraged settlements in the most
precarious zones, or redesigned narrow, winding hillside streets to
accommodate emergency vehicles. It has abandoned the water supply system
invented by Valaparaíso’s firefighters and municipal workers 100 years
ago, which utilized a large hilltop reservoir for storage (the reservoir
is finally now being renovated). The lack of working fire hydrants and
water supply sources on the hilltops was a principal abetting cause of
the fire.</p>
<p>Mounting combustible garbage in the ravines, due to the city’s
failure to provide adequate hillside trash collection services, also
fueled the fire’s rapid spread. Valparaíso residents blame Mayor Castro
for failing to protest when ex-president Sebastián Piñera <a style="color:rgb(33,117,155)" href="http://send.zcomm.org/wf/click?upn=9PHos1J7-2FD2Lw6jereECeNLGs3ocss1O2kcgD4VkZGzNB08H5a0-2F7oLbRs6XGH5XMznf-2Bp5RNoDiodwPt5x0EXI-2FwbZm8IcPDUsUohss2dgAtznFxEXYMPgcoW6-2BM5Rnn00M8fDBuQFSfzZqA6ozafXvCwtGdM-2FJbhuCVM48oAI-3D_N4B-2Bv1F4-2F1jAyC0cyQWlK1j-2FodWP3k-2B9nh5nJdNMXaLjdw0-2FdEWiT0vnL2i1yOw-2FJDwuQLvrOEQtEd4pL40wv2LO5AItXxIM3DaBxAq1IkWhwnVzkE1ULvWNx9-2BOSJ37xD1esqfYsPfw-2FXSBYbjao33pxJVG2nT-2F-2FEwLdGtYID9H8owYxmXP-2BUzNG7gQYshM-2FqGEmt-2BZ09FgSlNNi4JzIA-3D-3D" target="_blank">cancelled</a>
national funding for a ravine cleanup program several years ago.
According to Gray, over the years the Chilean state has increasingly
abandoned its municipalities to fend for themselves, leading to extreme
disparities in the level of services provided by rich and poor cities.
Historically, despite its strategic importance as a port city,
Valparaíso has been cash-strapped—in part because the port <a style="color:rgb(33,117,155)" href="http://send.zcomm.org/wf/click?upn=9PHos1J7-2FD2Lw6jereECeNLGs3ocss1O2kcgD4VkZGzNB08H5a0-2F7oLbRs6XGH5XMznf-2Bp5RNoDiodwPt5x0EXI-2FwbZm8IcPDUsUohss2dgJ6gbOW0AnH7AfOS1ISdn3L2scvLp0eKZFUdD8amZqIya4vjSoFPk0pXm5OIwX-2F6A-3D_N4B-2Bv1F4-2F1jAyC0cyQWlK1j-2FodWP3k-2B9nh5nJdNMXaLjdw0-2FdEWiT0vnL2i1yOw-2FgxHe3KLg-2BPxxpZCAsmFalAtu4U27Q0kxkaqalBfg8aLg7TqTyDswhK-2B51KNPgLdXCpjHY4GaGZSfiyxFDiSXxd8RXYb8URX6XvBol-2FPsPYyMQFefQVQiWsaqAohFNIlpJMNSrrbpzlVtnTI4aRxNsA-3D-3D" target="_blank">does not pay</a> for its use of city services and the costs it imposes on the municipality.</p>
<p>While ignoring the needs of Valparaíso’s poorest residents, the
city’s political and economic elites have encouraged downtown
redevelopment projects like the <a style="color:rgb(33,117,155)" href="http://send.zcomm.org/wf/click?upn=9PHos1J7-2FD2Lw6jereECeNLGs3ocss1O2kcgD4VkZGzNB08H5a0-2F7oLbRs6XGH5XMznf-2Bp5RNoDiodwPt5x0EXI-2FwbZm8IcPDUsUohss2djqmhJB3dgy5zcB393j-2Fdqe9MI8B0aLSsD454ok7PmtzXgS-2BhTjm17wii1Vh5AuU3Y-3D_N4B-2Bv1F4-2F1jAyC0cyQWlK1j-2FodWP3k-2B9nh5nJdNMXaLjdw0-2FdEWiT0vnL2i1yOw-2F8fyG9S0pDTOF-2BoUn6OkGmdGTWArmoKHXJsQJg2DwYX3uEEP9gFvCsSRFoGdoKKILApG-2BiKIluowsS-2FMVJo4t2IiFqXG8kIwVVFoWhPWytYyLv-2Bm3SiLe-2FDtKRc-2BgIhgRB2oc77cnAQU9M21upawJUw-3D-3D" target="_blank">Barón Mall</a>,
a massive harbor-side shopping center with superstores and hotels now
under construction by a private company on land acquired (cheaply) from
the port. The national Housing Ministry is slated to provide more than
$21 million in subsidies to the project. Although UNESCO recently warned
that the development could jeopardize Valparaíso’s status as a world
heritage site, both municipal and national authorities have vowed to
proceed with it.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the government’s post-disaster response has been widely
criticized as inadequate, disorganized, and delayed. Mayor Castro
provoked his own political firestorm by <a style="color:rgb(33,117,155)" href="http://send.zcomm.org/wf/click?upn=9PHos1J7-2FD2Lw6jereECeNLGs3ocss1O2kcgD4VkZGzNB08H5a0-2F7oLbRs6XGH5XMznf-2Bp5RNoDiodwPt5x0EXI-2FwbZm8IcPDUsUohss2djrbNvFtUkf-2BsJbSQRKTXESP-2BLjN0z5TLglqOzit3ED12ldFJ5FvLMFKYu9PEcWQQA-3D_N4B-2Bv1F4-2F1jAyC0cyQWlK1j-2FodWP3k-2B9nh5nJdNMXaLjdw0-2FdEWiT0vnL2i1yOw-2FHnUFSWiv7ImAt9TUC6wF-2F5AkBxXo3WZFYQHSmEf88HF6z7og3ibZjcJ8nhBbU-2FUGibUmFUWELoxxhyGOJV2ZAKVKLEYLXVp4X7lR8oVmtlCYr4nfj3Xm84D622PjtGgrg-2F9N9txJ-2FAtWx6PS4unGEQ-3D-3D" target="_blank">responding</a>
to an irate fire victim, “Who invited you to live here?” At least one
group of displaced residents has threatened to go on hunger strike in
protest.</p>
<p>In stark contrast to the failures of the state, Valparaíso’s fire
victims have experienced an unprecedented outpouring of solidarity and
support from civil society organizations. Thousands of volunteers have
been mobilized by labor unions, community organizations, local soccer
clubs, and, especially, student groups, to assist families with
day-to-day survival, cleanup, and rebuilding activities.</p>

<p>Similar to the links forged between Occupy activists and communities
decimated by Hurricane Sandy, these alliances have now given rise to a
nascent community-based reconstruction planning initiative. In both
situations, daunting challenges and questions remain. Should residents
be allowed (or entitled) to return and rebuild on precarious sites that
pose a continuing environmental risk? Can a disparate grassroots
coalition born of disaster maintain sufficient unity and political
leverage to affect the outcome of a protracted reconstruction planning
process? From New York City to Valparaíso, whether an urban catastrophe
can become an opportunity for progressive change remains to be seen.</p>
