From 1891 to 1941, Santiago - Chile's capital and its largest and
most important city - experienced rapid urbanization,
industrialization, and administrative expansion along with a
massive internal migration that had significant social and economic
consequences for the city. This book is the first study to focus on
this important period in Santiago's history. Drawing on a wide
range of original research, the book describes the growth of the
city, both demographically and physically, and highlights the role
of the local administration in this process. Histories of urban
politics are relatively rare for both Chile in particular and Latin
America in general, and this study seeks to fill these gaps. Some
of the topics covered include the impact of Chile's complex
multi-party system on local administration, the role of corruption
in the management of city affairs, the relationship between the
municipality and powerful foreign interests, the emergence of
economic nationalism, and the pioneering part played by women both
as voters and as elected officials in the capital's governance.
