      abstract = {The Villa San Luis de Las Condes illuminates Salvador  Allende's dedication to the imperative of the right to the  city for Chile's marginalized people. The military coup  d'etat of 11th September 1973 abruptly ended Allende's  presidency. Yet, material culture from the Villa San Luis  remains to convey his legacy. It is a lieu de memoire and  an iconic space for Allende's just city. The remnants of  the building also relate the wider injustice of the  Pinochet regime. Many of the families were violently  evicted during the dictatorship. Some were dispossessed,  taken from Las Condes in garbage trucks, and dumped in poor  communities. Over the decades, former residents fought back  and, in 2020, they succeeded in making Block 14 a  memorialized place of justice and reconciliation. It is now  a national monument.
