description The principles and metaphors of the mainstream in economics cling to the notion of efficiency in relation to perfect conditions of market. We will resort to its critic (particularly to the classic notion of invisible hand) from different streams in economics and to a characterization of the historical process of capital accumulation, in order to analyze the results that these mechanisms produce in the conformation of the city. In this sense, capitalism inefficiency generates socio-territorial inequalities (and inefficiencies) that became more complex the analysis, when adding spatial dimension. For it, we will refer briefly to the process of urban construction and expansion in a periurban district of Buenos Aires, according to the study of the role that some main actors play: state, land developers and industrial capital. Recent territorial transformations which characterize Buenos Aires Metropolitan Region (RMBA), are representatively present in Pilar district (third belt) in a smaller scale: new centres, strengthen by modernization in transport and communications infrastructure, segregated and “self-segregated” urban spaces (residential, industrial and services) coexisting with periurban horticulture. This paper studies industrial development of this district in metropolitan fringe, which is explained mainly by Parque Industrial Pilar performance, during “plan de convertibilidad” as well as after 2002 devaluation. Finally, it argues since the separation between industrial development and lack of a coordinated urban development policy in RMBA scale.

Finally, it argues since the separation between industrial development and lack of a coordinated urban development policy in RMBA scale. Los principios y metáforas del pensamiento económico dominante se aferran a la noción de eficiencia en relación a condiciones de mercado perfectas. Recurriremos a su crítica (particularmente a la noción clásica de mano invisible) desde distintas corrientes del pensamiento económico y a una caracterización del proceso histórico de acumulación de capital, para analizar los resultados que estos mecanismos producen en la conformación de la ciudad. En este sentido, la ineficiencia del capitalismo genera desigualdades (e ineficiencias) socio-territoriales que vuelven más complejo el análisis, al incorporarse la dimensión espacial. Las transformaciones territoriales recientes que caracterizan a la Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (RMBA), se manifiestan representativamente en el partido de Pilar (tercera corona) en una escala menor: nuevas centralidades, facilitadas por la modernización de la infraestructura de transporte y comunicaciones, espacios urbanos segregados y autosegregados (residenciales, industriales y de servicios) coexistiendo con emprendimientos de horticultura periurbana. En este contexto, se analizará el desarrollo industrial de este municipio de la periferia metropolitana, que se explica fundamentalmente por el desempeño del Parque Industrial Pilar, tanto durante el auge del plan de convertibilidad como después de la devaluación de 2002. Por último, se reflexionará a partir del divorcio entre dicho desarrollo industrial y la ausencia de políticas de desarrollo urbano coordinadas para la RMBA.  application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/455 spa Centro de Estudios de Historia Económica Argentina y Latinoamericana (CEHEAL) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/455/838 H-industria.
