| Sumario: | This article analyses the socio-spatial segregation in urban contexts, understanding it as a particular dimension of social structuring processes in capitalist cities. Specifically, we address the case of Córdoba City (Argentina). We assume that the growth of urban expansion registered during the 80s is the result of a double process of long duration. On the one hand, the urban developing policies that seek to increase productivity and attract private investments that re-qualify strategic areas of the city. On the other hand, and as a consequence of this process, the progressive unequal occupation on the periphery area, according to social classes’ positions and conditions. We conclude that the suburbanization registered in the city is part of a general policy of urban (re)valorization oriented to private capital and that, in Córdoba, the marks of a periphery fragmentation according to social class can be founded since the early years of democratic transition. The methodological strategy articulates the analysis of data from secondary sources (urban, socio-demographic and housing indicators) with a qualitative approach to urban interventions and regulatory frameworks sanctioned in the mid 80’s. |
