Current urban neoliberalism processes have shaped and changed contemporary cities, including the local scale’s built environment and social relations. This article aims to study how such transformations affect local sociability by analyzing the effects of neighborhoods’ morphology and socio-demographic characteristics on different forms of interactions and how they affect the sense of belonging. Taking the Metropolitan Area of Santiago, Chile, as a case study, we gathered secondary data on urban morphology and surveyed ten neighborhoods to measure sociability patterns. The results obtained from multilevel logistic regression models show that time living in the neighborhood and public pedestrian space is the most critical factor affecting neighborhood sociability. Moreover, instead of local ties, public familiarity is the form of sociability with the most substantial effects on a sense of belonging. We conclude that recent neighborhoods, formed by neoliberal urbanization, tend to discourage neighborhood sociability and a sense of belonging.

当前的城市新自由主义进程塑造和改变了当代城市，包括当地规模的建成环境和社会关系。本文旨在通过分析社区形态和社会人口特征对不同互动形式的影响以及它们如何影响归属感来研究这种转变如何影响当地的社交能力。以智利圣地亚哥大都市区为例，我们收集了有关城市形态的二手数据，并调查了 10 个社区以衡量社交模式。多层次逻辑回归模型的结果表明，居住在邻里和公共步行空间的时间是影响邻里社交性的最关键因素。此外，而不是地方关系，公众熟悉度是对归属感影响最大的社交形式。我们得出的结论是，最近由新自由主义城市化形成的社区往往会阻碍社区的社交性和归属感。
