Abstract

O'Higgins Park, before Cousino, has evolved from its founding in 1873, with the effect of loss of their role, image and prestige as recreational green space. Its plant heritage and its surface has decreased: some of its areas have been replaced by buildings. The original area was of 91.7 hectares, but now submitted to the park only 76.7 of them. The author questions the image projection of the park into the future.
