Estudio comparativo sobre el efecto de las políticas públicas urbanas en los barrios patrimoniales de dos ciudades Argentinas

Abstract

This is a comparative study of two heritage neighborhoods with high market values, adjacent to the central areas in two intermediate Argentinean cities. Both have large vacant buildings, where individual actors and land use regulations have determined different scenarios. In Córdoba, Maipú keeps the suburbia model, which causes informal micro interventions in order to increase its density. In Rosario, Pichincha induces building rehabilitation, completion and renovation processes through a special development plan. At first, the historical development of each section is described, emphasizing the similarities and differences found (built heritage, connections to the city, functional role). Afterwards, the current land use regulations (regarding protection policies of heritage and urban renewal) are exposed. Subsequently, features are described in the residential market. Finally, urban processes product both of the socio economic conditions and land use regulations are analyzed.
