Transformaciones, persistencias y resistencias del territorio: la ribera del Municipio de Vicente López

Abstract

The studies about the recent metropolitan transformations focus on interventions in metropolitan centers, suburban and the axles that articulate them. The central areas were the scene of public operations and real estate development in historic areas, ports and coastal. In the periphery were settled gated communities for affluent sectors. These central and peripheral areas are linked by networks of private highway and traditional corridors, who gained dynamism with the location of supermarkets, shopping malls, cinema complexes, and office buildings. This paper focus on the large are as between downtown and suburbs, which are of particular interest to both public and private investment, from the last decade. It considers the projects and transformations of these areas, and the conflicts that are settled around them, may be presented as a laboratory for thinking about the recent changes, and possible intervention logic.
