El instituto de planeamiento regional y urbano del litoral (1955-1965): una escuela, dos institutos: Hardoy + Hardoy en Rosario

Abstract

This paper analyzes the development of two institutes devoted to urban discipline in Argentina: Instituto de Arquitectura y Planeamiento and Instituto de Planeamiento Regional y Urbano del Litoral, both within the general framework of Escuela de Arquitectura y Planeamiento from Universidad Nacional del Litoral, located in Rosario, in the period 1957-1965. This approach allows to establish break-ups and continuities of these two institutes as regards to the institutional organization; reference models; actors and academic networks involved, which allows to identify determining conditions in the transformation of urban discipline in a particular period of national and Latin American political history, marked by relationships with the United States, the action of supranational organizations and private foundations which, from different perspectives, redefine the models and research issues at local level.
