Abstract

Since the Argentinian Independence (1810-16), the central government has to face the problem of a vast, unoccupied and unproductive territory, essential to start producing resources to generate incomes and carry out the reforms needed to build its own economy.

This urbanization takes place from the mid-19th century to the beginning of the 20th century.
