Sumario:Since the advance of neoliberalism, transformations were evident in the forms of settlement of the most vulnerable sectors, that tended to locate in environmentally compromised interstitial zones. The article analyzes the conditions of the “environmentally exclusive” territories where these sectors reproduce their daily lives, and the ways in which those conditions are articulated with some social practices that construct these territories as habitable. For this, a mixed methodological scaffolding was built in which, based on an analysis of two popular neighborhoods in the Municipality of Quilmes (Province of Buenos Aires), various sources of information were triangulated. It is concluded that these “environmentally exclusive” territories involve their populations in a contradiction: highly precarious living conditions but, at the same time, a possibility of remaining in the city.
