Public space is a bone of contention between different groups that try to impose their own values and interests. Both the way of devising the pattern of roads and their names, monuments, architectural works, and the uses and transits given to all these elements, result in a subjective construction that when imposed unilaterally or in a context of plurality consensus, give rise to social conflict or sustainability in relations, exchanges and coexistence within the “polis”. A review of the manner in which the public space of the city of Temuco has been organized can provide an intimation for, on one hand, understanding the conflicts arising therein, and, on another, thinking of social sustainability solutions to those conflicts where interacting groups can identify with and feel represented by that public space.
