Articulaciones entre las instancias de la planificación urbana y su implementación en la ciudad de Buenos Aires: el Plan Maestro Comuna 8: lo legal y lo legítimo

Abstract

Within urban policies, Urban Planning (PU) is organized into three non-linear instances, which consist of the realization of a territorial diagnosis, the formulation of a plan and its implementation. Usually they present significant disarticulations between the instances of formulation and the implementation of urban plans, regardless of their specificity and complexity. In this context, Commune 8 of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires is a relevant case study of these dislocations, since it condenses particular characteristics, such as the existence of successive antecedents of urban sector plans, and its role as a territorial unit, within political-administrative subdivision in Comunas, recently implemented in the city. This paper develops the process carried out by the so-called "Master Plan Commune 8" between 2011 and today, in its process of legalization and legitimation. It is interested in this research to compare this executive plan, with the original and finally approved version of the law, in relation to the urban management instruments proposed in each case, the areas and topics addressed, and the social actors active during the legislative process.
