Abstract

“This work proposes a study on the peri-urban area in Comodoro Rivadavia city, acquiring prominence as a transition space between the town, configured by residential islands, and the surrounding territory, characterized by the vastness of the Patagonian steppe and its extractive areas. Resulting in a complex periphery, with a mixture of incompatible uses (oil wells, neighborhoods, forest areas) with low urbanization standards, infrastructures, and public spaces. The way urbanization has occupied the natural territory begins to show environmental imbalances, acquiring a dimension of risk for the population, configuring a scenario of conflict. Finally, it seeks to investigate the ways of construction of this border territory and the origin of the imbalances that are visualized today, in order to formulate guidelines that, from a project approach, address and offer alternatives solutions to these problems with urban environmental-landscape quality as a tool for transformation and revaluation of the territory.”
