Sumario:The north coast corridor of the Metropolitan Area of ​​Buenos Aires (AMBA), along the riverbanks that extend between Vicente López and Tigre, has undergone structural changes in the last thirty years with the emergence of new residential typologies. In a process of replacing plot by plot, the gated communities, high-rise buildings and condominiums with amenities were located in a territory that was characterized by functional and spatial heterogeneity, with a mixture of recreational facilities, warehouses and suburban neighborhoods, with medium and low-income segments of the population. The growth by dispersion and the spatial fragmentation and discontinuity that characterized recent metropolitan transformations have been extensively studied in relation to peri-urban territories. However, not much has been analyzed about the particularities that these processes acquire in previously urbanized territories. As the riverside corridor is an area with a long process of urbanization and high cultural sedimentation, we understand that it offers a great opportunity in this regard. In this framework, through a morphological analysis, we intend to understand how growth by dispersion and spatial fragmentation operate on an already consolidated territory.
