Abstract A persistent tension between private and public space has been observed in informal settlements in most urbanised areas in the world. This condition is a serious concern for Latin American urban landscapes, with 21% of the population living in informal settlements, where the unbalanced relationship between individual and collective needs gradually increases along with the growth of settlements. The problem arises when the only form of public space is one that has been reduced to circulation routes. The present research hypothesises that it is possible to develop an urban model for informal urban settlements in Valparaiso - Chile, based on the promotion of social integration through transforming natural barriers, such as steep terrains and ravines, as opportunities for including a social active space system into the urban tissue.
