| Sumario: | The purpose of this article is to analyze the strategies for the production of urban space in the city of Córdoba, Argentina, by analyzing the security policies implemented at present, understanding that they have played a leading role in this process. It is relevant to pay attention to its economic dimension; understanding that, in the current phase of capitalism and the consequent commodification of all vital spheres, cities have been crossed and transformed under a neoliberal rationality. This is expressed in dynamics such as segmentation, fragmentation and gentrification; in which parallel mechanisms are conjugated where there are movements towards aesthetic and strategic beautification in some areas where the real estate interests of capital are concentrated against a socio-habitational segregation of those peripheral areas that are controlled, fundamentally, by the Cordoba police apparatus. In the new Plan Integral de Seguridad Ciudadana y Prevención del Delito, implemented in 2016, a socio-geographic division of urban space was introduced, fragmenting and classifying it in a traffic light where there are red, yellow and green zones that define how the police intervention is and the number of police officers that will be assigned in each territorial quadrant. It is for this reason that we propose to critically reconstruct the processes of configuration and fragmentation of urban space that took place in the city of Córdoba. From tracing a first expression of this process with the “Mi Casa, Mi Vida” [My House, My Life] program, we will trace the threads of the security model up to the Plan to analyze the division of the city into green, yellow and red security quadrants. |
