| Sumario: | This article exhibits the main results of a research carried out within the framework of a degree thesis, focused on the case study of urban renewal of the block of the former Royal Hotel, now a Royal Park residential-commercial complex, in Mar del Plata, Argentina (period 2016-2020). Through a qualitative study, and from analytical categories of urban sociology, the work shows how the logics of capital materialize in a foundational, central and strategic area of the city. The particularity that underlies this transformation is the condition of abandonment that lasted for more than three uninterrupted decades despite the initial historical and emblematic imprint of the hotel, evidencing, on the one hand, how for there to be a process of large-scale urban renewal, it is necessary that private interests are inter-related to commercial logics, but also to the public sphere. On the other hand, the way in which the strategies of the dominant sectors are expressed in the urban configuration, generating impacts on land use and housing. |
