ALLARD, Pablo. Si el río suena… ya no serán piedras lo que trae: Costanera Norte: Mitos, verdades y lecciones de una autopista urbana. ARQ (Santiago) [online]. 2002, n.52, pp. 44-49. ISSN 0717-6996.  doi: 10.4067/S0717-69962002005200018.

A project's development can be long and full of incidents along the way. Allard puts in perspective the development of the polemic Costanera Norte project, probably the most important urban intervention in Santiago after the construction of the Norte-Sur highway. After years of discussions, open contests and protests, the construction work has begun. Finally, no matter whether we like it or not, the Costanera Norte is here to stay. Which leads to the question: How are we to use it and how are we going to deal with this invasion of cars next to the Mapocho river?
