RAMIREZ, Lucas Emanuel. Working-class Suburbs in Greater Buenos Aires: An Analysis of its Conformation and Recent Sociodemographic Changes (1991-2010) in the Municipality of Quilmes. Territ. [online]. 2021, n.44, pp.85-112.  Epub July 23, 2023. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.8094.

During the industrialization process of the mid-twentieth century, Greater Buenos Aires expanded considerably. One of its characteristics was the suburbanization of the working classes by acceding to urban land through a formal land submarket, called loteos populares, which were land divisions into lots for low-income households. In the late 1970s, opportunities for access to land for these households were restricted due to changes in urban regulations, deindustrialization policies and regressive income distribution. I analyze the conformation of the neighborhoods created as loteos populares in the municipality of Quilmes. I observe their sociodemographic changes that occurred after the economic-structural transformations of the 1990s. The methodology is eminently quantitative through the revision of historical plans of urban land subdivisions and data of national population and housing censuses in Argentina.

Keywords : Working-class suburbs; Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area; territorial transformations; urban land; low-income neighborhoods; metropolitan periphery; Quilmes.
