| Sumario: | Gentrification is widely considered a planetary urban process that accentuates socio-spatial inequalities and limits the right to the city for low-income groups. The decisive role of the state in this process has received growing attention, and the Latin American gentrification literature has made important contributions in this regard. Based on a review of the recent literature on gentrification, neoliberal urban governance, and urban policy, this article categorizes the different mechanisms through which state-led gentrification is enacted. The following mechanisms are detailed: urban regulatory frameworks and “systematic exceptionalism”; the institutionalization of neoliberal urban governance; selective territorial (re)investment; and strategies of territorial (re)activation. This article illustrates these mechanisms in the context of Argentina in order to lay the groundwork to operationalize them as variables that can be employed in comparative research. |
