Sumario:During the first two decades of the 21st century, the Gran Resistencia agglomerate has expanded over nearby sectors, through different modes of occupation. One of them, have been closed neighborhoods, through a set of individual homes, separated from the outside by walls or fences and equipped with security facilities. From a geographical perspective, there are numerous works on closed neighborhoods in Argentine cities; however, there are no previousinvestigations for the study area. Therefore, the objective aims to analyze these developments and their impact on the process of urban expansion of theGran Resistencia, studying the real estate dynamics that favors its location in the periphery of the agglomerate. We work with the cartography of the municipalities and satellite images of Google Earth, supplemented with information obtained from interviews conducted with residents in closed neighborhoods and real estate operators linked to these ventures.
