With this aim, an itinerary starting with the process of rise and fall of rational-normative paradigm is traced, continuing with the birth of strategic planning, the discussion of urban reaches of competitive ethos, city marketing and urban cosmetic, finishing with an analysis of international rankings under the informational city paradigm. Using these elements, the paper ends with an analysis of current Santiago.
