| Sumario: | This article addresses the theoretical-political relationship between socio-urban and economic integration proposed in the processes of (re)urbanization of slums in Buenos Aires City (2016-2021), intervened by the City Housing Institute (IVC). For this analysis we selected as case studies the Villa 20 of the southern zone and the Playón de Chacarita in the north center of the city. They are located in neighborhoods with different levels of development and socio-territorial inequalities, and are intervened by re(urbanization) processes framed in laws n° 5705/2016 (Villa 20) and n°5799/2017 (Playón de Chacarita). From the perspective of critical urban sociology, the place of the "Right to the City" in the local public agenda is questioned, and if it is possible to achieve effective levels of socio-spatial justice from the paradigm of "Social Management of Habitat." Following Harvey (1977), the classic debate around the links between social processes and spatial forms is problematized. In this way, our objective is to contribute to the reflection on a present public policy that is presented as novel. To carry out this work, a qualitative methodological strategy was chosen, which consisted of conducting semi-structured interviews in depth with officials of the IVC and the Ministry of Human Development and Habitat and with referents of community organizations. It also relied on the observation of the territory and used data from secondary sources, especially reports from public agencies, which account for the progress in the present re(urbanization) process and the paradigm of Social Habitat Management followed by the local Government. Finally, the legislation in force allowed us to investigate the proposed theoretical relationship. |
