| Sumario: | From its origins, the processes of distinction and of socio-spatial segregation have accompanied the territorial transformations of Mar del Plata in its consolidation as a seaside resort. The change from class tourism to mass tourism was what prompted the need for wealthy sectors, who used to spend the summer in the city's "golden years", to abandon the spas where they used to spend the summer period for others, each time further away from the center of Mar del Plata, in search of preserving and maintaining distinction and exclusivity by staying away from those new tourists belonging to popular sectors that began to frequent the city.
Through a historical journey through the origins of Mar del Plata, this article aims to investigate how tourist activity has become an excuse and the driving force behind the urbanization and privatization processes of the coastal area, promoting growing segregation socio-spatial from the search for social distinction of the old vacationers of the city. |
