The urban renewal of La Reina’s commune has its starting point in the notion of improving the local
synergies so as to intensify the productive engines.

We start with the urban fabric acting as the skeleton that will guide the future growth development: The main east-west roads or mountain range corridors (MRC), start to intensify their urban purpose by adding more ‘signifiers’ to their actual roles, generating future platforms of collaboration between the main productive activities of the area, and the MRC's capacity to connect La Reina’s productive system to other communes within Santiago.

We think the educational system is one underused source of productive synergies, so the next step considers locating all the educational institutions within the commune as a way to map
all the possible social-educational connections that would ignite a knowledge exchange at a multi-scalar level, creating a much more broad productive scenario for La Reina.

Now, the roads and the educational institutions conform one solid system that will be further enhanced by the inclusion of a 'growth plan' that considers green areas and residential neighborhoods around it.
The process by which the urban triad -the educational institutions + residential neighbourhood +
green areas- is linked to the main roads is called mountain range inclusions.
