palabras clave | pobreza, politica habitacional, fragmentacion urbana. abstract | During 2013, a qualitative research was conducted in the region of El Cas- tillo, district of La Pintana, Santiago, Chile. This study was conceptually framed by the notions of and territories. The district of La Pintana was created in 1981 within the framework of urban reforms of the military dictatorship, in order to relo- cate displaced groups. Waiting is understood as a temporary situation that occurs when the displaced population is settled in a territory lacking in resources, without improvement over time, and where the socio-economic status of those living in it does not improve either. It follows as a conclusion that El Castillo is a waiting territory and a waiting society. This condition defines the place, the social identity and the spatial practices of its inhabitants. The form and content of waiting changes depending on the generation: for the youth, wai - ting is accompanied by hope and for adults and old people, is a rather resigned or nostalgic conception.
