| 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. |
