GUEVARA, Tomás Alejandro. The renewal and urban development strategy in Buenos Aires (1996-2011). Apuntes [online]. 2013, vol.26, n.2, pp.68-79. ISSN 1657-9763.

This paper analyzes the deployment of urban development strategies based on the promotion of renewal processes in central areas, in the period 1996-2011, in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. It is established that during this period an urban development regime was formed, it drove forms of entrepreneurship that tended to commodify urban space, seeking to raise capital willing to invest in the renewal of core areas, regardless of the adverse socioeconomic effects or impacts in terms of conservation of architectural heritage. In this context, public interventions in the period were designed to generate economic conditions for urban renewal in selected areas for this purpose. The article discusses some of the main interventions in the neighborhoods east of the city of Buenos Aires, from statistical data and official documents.

Palavras-chave : urban renewal; urban development; urban entrepreneurialism; urban architectural heritage policies.
