- Abstract
This article addresses the study sphere of the Residential Developments for Coal Workers in Central-Southern Chile. Halfway through 19th century, industrial entrepreneurs were the main promoters of the housing plans for workers. Later, from the beginning to the middle of 20th century, the housing production lived a boom, now with the additional participation by different state agencies. Having defined the mining town of Lota as the study case, this research aims to analyze how these agencies influenced the collective housing developments during this term. The research method consists in a compared analysis of the housing developments built in the said territory based on publications by the coal-mining company in the newspaper La Opinión de Lota, between 1940 and 1973. The results indicate importance of the State participation in the development of an increasingly larger housing standard for the coal workers.
