Abstract

Within the framework of metropolitan transformations in Latin American cities, this paper addresses the issue of residential mobility and its link with the socio-spatial structure of Montevideo. Based on a quantitative approach, residential mobility patterns are studied using a specific module of residential mobility questions from the Continuous Household Survey of the National Institute of Statistics of Uruguay. The results indicate that, despite the context of economic growth and reduction of income inequalities after the 2002 crisis, the residential mobility processes studied between 2006 and 2011 reinforce the existing dual socio-spatial structure. However, some socio-urban transformations are observed in central and intermediate areas that question this general trend.
