TRIMANO, Luciana  and  MATTIOLI, Denise. "Living in Nature". Residential Mobility and Real Estate Extractivism in Mountain Ranges of Córdoba (Argentina). Territ. [online]. 2023, n.48, pp.1-.  Epub Oct 05, 2023. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.12319.

The current research analyses residential mobility from the big city to small towns with environmental and landscape qualities; and its counterpart, the real estate speculation that such displacement entails. For this purpose and based on the analysis of two ethnographic cases located in the mountain ranges of Córdoba (Argentina), discourses are investigated and which are mobilised by the practice of the business sector to encourage the arrival of metropolitan populations to these scenarios and install "life in nature" as a market niche. This internal migratory trend, which originated approximately fifty years ago, has become more acute in the surge of the COVID-19 health crisis, raising local concerns about radical changes in land use. These changes result in a series of social and environmental problems that materialise a process that can be described as real estate extractivism.

Keywords : Nature; residential mobility; real estate extractivism; territorial transformation; nonmetropolitan cities.
