Social Geography

Hi everybody, today I’m going to talk about Social Geography, it is a type of geography that study critically the social process in relationship whit the territory and the historical context, so it is about  to understand themes like inequalities, poverty, wealth, and its implications on space. Our professor is Michael Lukas, he is a German geographer, and he teach us about the relationship that the historical process and the distribution of people on the space. The globalism and neoliberalism allowed that the private sector can to buy all the recourses, like the lands, so they have the control on the classification of society in social classes. I can understand that we are a society stratified because the State is weaker than the (very) rich people, so they can to control the space.

I like the critical posture that the geography takes in social themes, we read very interested think about the actual word so I like to learn thinks that are a reality and its happens. This would be better if we study the way of improve this social problem, we can to learn about the forms of planning a better city we can contributing to the social development, but I’m in the middle of this course so I hope that in the second part of the classes I can to learn more about how do something for the people, because some teachers just teach about the problems and not the solution. Intelligence is the ability to solve problems, so y hope be intelligence some day L

A place on Santiago: Renato Poblete park

I going to talk about a new park called Renato Poblete is a fluvial park because it´s on the hillside of Mapocho river in Quinta Normal, next to Los Reyes park. Renato Poblete was finished the last year, so today the park is in good conditions, clean, with a well-cared grass, little trees growing and you can find this park with not so much people in there (yet).

Is a perfect place to ride a bicycle, to go with your pets, the kids have a big place to run and the most important think of the park is the navigable river! . The Mapocho’s   water is deviates to a zone of the park and you will can boating and be in kayak! On center of Santiago! I think that is a big project and is very cool the form of enjoy the river (The most of Santiago people think that is a ugly river), y just hope that this project will not be to pollution the water.

I have visited the park just one time a few months ago, with my boyfriend, his brother and his girlfriend. We had a great time, is a big park and beautiful, without so much people, so it’s a quiet place, perfect to read a book or meditate. Is like a center of peace in the middle of the busy city.

We walk for the park, we take a break on the grass and laughed a lot. After we bought mote con huesillo, (you can find a lot types of delicious think in there)

Is a beautiful place, I hope that the people can take care this park for ever
