This is a multi-causal process where diverse instruments of land rent generation intervene, and in which public power plays a key role in appropriation and destiny. In the context of deregulated real estate markets, such as the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Region (RMBA), the use of real estate as a financial asset tends to prevail over its use value thus restricting habitat access. Actors related to the real estate development sector are continuously innovating their strategies and products seeking profit maximization, whilst the state adjusts its urban public policies to guarantee such enterprises, disregarding the socio-urban exclusion processes foster by such dynamics and relinquishing a strategic and inclusive management of urban land. The purpose of this article is to trace some land policies implemented over the last five years in the RMBA, both in the central district and in the sprawl area, by answering the following questions: How are such policies validating this wealth transfer mechanism? How do they affect dignified habitat access? To which extent are there any initiatives to counter the resulting urban exclusion processes? El aumento de precio de la vivienda disociado de los ingresos de la población, en tanto mecanismo de transferencia y concentración de la riqueza, involucra formas de generación de rentas del suelo en las cuales el poder público asume un rol protagónico respecto a su destino y apropiación. En un contexto preeminentemente desregulado de los mercados inmobiliarios, como el que caracteriza a la Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (RMBA), el uso de la propiedad inmueble como activo de inversión continúa imponiéndose por sobre el valor de uso, reforzando las históricas restricciones de acceso a un hábitat digno. Continuamente, los actores ligados al desarrollo inmobiliario innovan en sus estrategias y productos maximizando sus ganancias, mientras que el poder público adecúa la política urbana para garantizar tales negocios, desatendiendo los procesos de exclusión socio-urbana que tales dinámicas promueven y renunciando a una gestión estratégica e inclusiva del suelo urbano. En este marco, el objeto del presente artículo es analizar una serie de políticas de gestión de suelo urbano implementadas en los últimos cinco años en la RMBA, tanto en el distrito central como en las áreas de expansión urbana, a partir de los siguientes interrogantes: ¿cómo intervienen tales políticas validando esta modalidad de transferencia de riqueza?, ¿qué efectos genera en el acceso al hábitat digno? y, ¿hasta qué punto existen iniciativas que contrarresten estos procesos asociados de exclusión socio-urbana? application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/10407 10.34096/ps.n4.10407 spa Instituto de Geografía "Romualdo Ardissone", UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/10407/9106 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/10407/9122 Punto Sur; No. 4 (2021): Crisis global y metamorfosis metropolitana; 164-184 Punto Sur; Núm. 4 (2021): Crisis global y metamorfosis metropolitana; 164-184 2683-7404 urban legislation public properties urban sprawl lots with servicies Buenos Aires Metropolitan region normativa urbana inmuebles fiscales expansión urbana lotes con servicios Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires Urban policy and land management in the RMBA during the 2010s: urban law, public real estate auctions, and habitat access Política urbana y gestión de suelo en la RMBA en la década del diez: legislación urbana, subasta de inmuebles públicos y acceso al hábitat digno info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=puntosur&d=10407_oai
