| Sumario: | In the 1930s public works acquired a leading role in Argentina, as part of the reactivation program carried out by government, to alleviate the consequences of the international financial breakdown that took place in 1929. This action framed in the process of industrialization was aimed at generating employment, stimulating other industries, increasing domestic consumption, promoting trade and providing means of transport. A series of goods with strong symbolic meaning were deployed in the national territory. They represented the state presence and, at the same time, caused changes in the lives of many inhabitants because they became their material bond with the social policies.In Mendoza, government actions were aimed at curbing migration from rural areas, which involved the development of social infrastructure to cover basic needs in those areas. Simultaneously, Public Works were regarded as a possibility of employment for local workers. The State extended into the territory of the province and fostered the notion which defined the successive governments as efficient administrators. |
