Abstract
The Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires (RMBA) is constituted by a series of districts that surround the federal capital of Argentina. Here, the productive and population epicenter of the country is concentrated, since it harbors approximately one third of the total gross product and a quarter of the country’s inhabitants. This paper analyzes the way in which the economic structure of the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires responded to changes among the different capital accumulation patterns in recent Argentina. The purpose is to study socio-territorial changes in connection with the transformations in the political economy, with emphasis in industry and employment during the period of 2003-2019, and then we draw a cardinal-spatial delimitation (south, west, north) that identifies the structural nuclei of each region. Evidences indicate that changes among the capital accumulation pattern between 2003 and 2015 stopped partially the process of de-industrialization, not so the process of social and urban stratification observed during the financial valorization regime (1976-2001) in the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires, while those trends returned and deepened since 2016.
