| Sumario: | 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. |
