| Sumario: | Mendoza is a medium-sized city that has gone through different stages of urban-habitational configuration, mainly in the west area which functions as an expanding sector and growth area of popular neighborhoods autourbanized. A synthesis of the current and historical processes is developed about the three popular neighborhoods (Flores, San Martín and Barriada La Favorita) that date back 80 years and are the first settlements in the piedmont of Mendoza. For this purpose, four moments are identified: 1. origin; 2. strengthening; 3. consolidation and 4. Government intervention (21st century). The study is organized based on: forms of neighborhood organization; adaptation to the territorial context and linkage with the local government (economically and sociopolitically). In the last stage, direct and indirect instruments utilized by the government (focusing on public policies) for settlement urbanization are analyzed by its creation and consolidation in the 20th century. Results show an heterogeneous trayectory between neighborhoods according to the state relationship from the operations that promote processes of expulsion, eviction and re-occupation of inhabitants. The municipal intervention with the greatest incidence and transformation is from 2006 onwards, from a regularizing approach that executes urbanization programs in order to formalize and integrate the neighborhoods into the consolidated urban pattern. |
