Sumario:This article analyzes the material and symbolic imbrications among the conceptions related to the right to decent housing in a healthy environment, industrial development and environmental risk that guide the resettlement policy for the inhabitants of villa Inflamable in the setting of the integral environmental cleanup plan for the Matanza-Riachuelo river basin (Buenos Aires). Furthermore, this study provides initial answers to these questions: what are the concepts of nature that some actors, especially the local and national government, practice in the resettlement policy? What is the prevailing paradigm of human-environmental relations that makes those concepts understandable? And what does the case of villa Inflamable tell us about the processes of population displacement by largescale projects, understanding it as a policy of accumulation by dispossession in terms of Harvey (2004)?
