Abstract

Regarding the accelerated transformations that the Coastal South Region of Uruguay is undergoing, the article explores its anthropization process in a multiescalar approach, where the shaping of the seaside resorts has played a leading role. On one hand, the outcome and development of the seaside resort at the beginning of the XX century is analysed as a specific cultural landscape, proof of a paradigm change in the local society. On the other hand, the regional land project that is beneath the process of shaping the seaside resort is explored, utopic and unfinished, implicit and explicit. It is evaluated the presence of 15 million people at the other side of the River Plate, in the metropolitan region of Buenos Aires. The highlight of the seaside resort as a cultural landscape, is opposed to the outcome of an emerging lush way of living the spare time: the so called countries or gated communities.
