Abstract
Este artículo explora los vínculos existentes entre las medidas higiénicas, policiales y de ordenamiento urbano de los gobiernos liberales costarricenses, la segregación socio-espacial que inició con la conformación de una élite agroexportadora y el surgimiento de un corredor de comercios y residencias de inmigrantes chinos desde las últimas décadas del siglo XIX hasta mediados del siglo XX. Es de notar que las restricciones provocaron una dispersión de los chinos por al menos tres pasajes en el casco central joseno, con lo cual no se llegó a conformar orgánicamente un barrio chino.
This article explores the links among the hygiene, surveillance, and urban planning policies of the Costa Rican liberal governments, the socio-spatial segregation that began with the rise of an agro-exporting elite, and the emergence of a loosely delineated strip of businesses and residences of Chinese immigrants from the last decades of the 19th century to the mid 20th century. It is noteworthy that the restrictions caused a centrifugal movement that landed the Chinese in at least three areas in San José downtown, which detracted from organically developing a Chinatown
