| description |
The article analyzes the policy of slum reurbanization implemented in Buenos Aires City between 2016 and 2023, within the neoliberal model that guides urban management toward the commodification of land and the expansion of the real estate market. From a multiscalar perspective, it is observed that intervention programs in four slums –Rodrigo Bueno, Playón de Chacarita, Villa 20, and Barrio Mugica– represented an innovation in political, budgetary, and institutional terms, accompanied by an official discourse centered on social and urban integration. However, their implementation was territorially limited, prioritized the construction of new housing over the improvement of self-built sectors, and was developed in neighborhoods strategically selected for real estate projects. In parallel, the privatization of public land, regulatory flexibilization, and the creation of commercial districts were deepened, reproducing urban inequalities. Consequently, the achievements reached were partial, targeted, and with easily reversible outcomes. |

El artículo analiza la política de reurbanización de villas implementada en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires entre 2016 y 2023, en el marco del modelo neoliberal que orienta la gestión urbana hacia la mercantilización del suelo y la expansión del mercado inmobiliario. A partir de un enfoque multiescalar, se observa que los programas de intervención en cuatro villas –Rodrigo Bueno, Playón de Chacarita, Villa 20 y Barrio Mugica– significaron una novedad por su magnitud, alcance urbanístico, habitacional y dominial, acompañada de un discurso oficial centrado en la integración social y urbana. Sin embargo, su implementación estuvo limitada territorialmente, priorizó la construcción de viviendas nuevas por sobre el mejoramiento de los sectores autoconstruidos y se desarrolló en barrios estratégicos para proyectos inmobiliarios. En paralelo, se profundizaron la privatización de tierras públicas, la flexibilización normativa y la creación de distritos comerciales, reproduciendo desigualdades urbanas. En consecuencia, los logros alcanzados fueron parciales, focalizados y con alcances fácilmente reversibles. O artigo analisa a política de reurbanização de favelas implementada na Cidade de Buenos Aires entre 2016 e 2023, no marco do modelo neoliberal que orienta a gestão urbana para a mercantilização do solo e a expansão do mercado imobiliário. A partir de uma perspectiva multiescalar, observa-se que os programas de intervenção em quatro favelas – Rodrigo Bueno, Playón de Chacarita, Villa 20 e Bairro Mugica – representaram uma novidade em termos políticos, orçamentários e institucionais, acompanhada de um discurso oficial centrado na integração social e urbana. No entanto, sua implementação foi territorialmente limitada, priorizou a construção de novas moradias em detrimento da melhoria dos setores autoconstruídos e desenvolveu-se em bairros estrategicamente selecionados para projetos imobiliários. Em paralelo, aprofundaram-se a privatização de terras públicas, a flexibilização normativa e a criação de distritos comerciais, reproduzindo desigualdades urbanas. Em consequência, os resultados alcançados foram parciais, focalizados e com alcances facilmente reversíveis. Universidad Nacional del Nordeste.
