Résumé : The contemporary planetary urbanization is a phenomenon predicted by Henri Lefebvre, in La Révolution urbaine of 1970, which is a major contribution to the radical critique of the postwar urbanization emerged during the 60’s. Nowadays, through this theoretical approach, geographer, and landscape-architects have developed new critical description of the urbanization beyond the traditional city. Together, providing new approaches about landscape and territory, allowing us to pay special attention to the production of leftover territories result of this extended urbanization. Against this background, in Latin America, the theoretical discussion and design approaches are still emerging. Nonetheless, this research aims to state that, parallel to the development of the critical theory from the sixties and until today, The Valparaíso School of Chile through the critical practice of The Travesías has treated the problem of unveiling the Latin American territories surpassing the cities, centered specifically on the leftovers lands produced by the historical and planetary urbanization.
