This manuscript delves into development and influence of late capitalism in the city of Valparaíso in Chile, seen from the transformations promoted since the 90s in Chile to date. This, in light of some concepts coming from the work of authors such as Gilles Deleuze, regarding the notion of deterritorialization, the concept of capitalist realism, of authors such as Mark Fisher, and the spatio-temporal conformations of David Harvey who, according to this author , is evident in the development of certain encapsulated modes of daily life and interaction, formal and informal at the level of daily living in the city, which is compressed into functional spaces of consumption and interaction, such as malls, food courts, condominiums, second homes, means of transportation, etc. that acquire the status of true urban entities. This is the case of malls in almost all of Chile. Highlighting, in Valparaíso, especially the controversial Mall Project located at the Barón Pier.

A prototypical case of this impact of late capitalism is that of the construction of new urban entities. This is the case of malls in almost all of Chile. Highlighting in Valparaíso, especially the controversial Evil Project located at the Barón Pier.

Palabras clave : Late capitalism; deterritorialization; functional urban spaces; malls; urban entities; Valparaiso.
