Abstract
Este trabajo analiza la relación entre un modelo de urbanismo higienista y los procesos de gentrificación actualmente observables en las grandes ciudades latinoamericanas. La investigación se centra en los enclaves de Regina (Ciudad de México) y El Abasto (Buenos Aires), y a nivel metodológico se basa en una combinación de técnicas de revisión bibliográfica y documental y trabajo de campo etnográfico. Los datos recabados subrayan la importancia de la aplicación de políticas urbanísticas de tipo higienista para imponer los usos potencialmente más rentables del espacio en el contexto latinoamericano.
Highlights
The research focuses on the settlements of Regina (Mexico City) and El Abasto (Buenos Aires), and it is methodologically based on a combination of bibliographic and documentary review techniques and ethnographic fieldwork
Extended abstract The current document seeks to analyze in a comparative way the relationship between a hygienist urbanism model and the gentrification processes currently existing in the large Latin American cities
In large Latin American cities we find as a prominent problem the presence in strategic urban enclaves of population sectors that, for different reasons, are an obstacle to an allocation of space to the most profitable uses
Summary
Based on the data collected, the gentrifying tendencies in Latin America seem to converge in the pressure towards new spatial configurations, characterized by a greater spatial segmentation, a tendency towards the privatization of space and a growing codification in its uses Both in Mexico City and Buenos Aires, gentrification imply a renegotiation of the city's social frontiers, previous. La principal proposición del texto es que las políticas urbanísticas higienistas, orientadas al desplazamiento y/o invisibilización de grupos y usos considerados indeseables, son un rasgo destacado de la forma en que se desarrollan los procesos de gentrificación en América Latina. Finalmente dedicamos un breve apartado a la recapitulación de las principales ideas del trabajo y a la recogida de las principales conclusiones
