MARTIN RIOS, Diego. Murky Waters: New Water Bodies of Buenos Aires Gated Communities. Cuad. Geogr. Rev. Colomb. Geogr. [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.1, pp.201-219. ISSN 0121-215X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcdg.v26n1.53846.

Abstract Lately, water bodies have become one of the landscape features most valued by neoliberal urbanism in different parts of the world. The appropriation and production of water conditions exploited for the most exclusive real estate and tourism development, as well as the generation of unequal environmental conditions, are two sides of the same process that is growing significantly. This paper looks at the case of water bodies in gated communities in the flood-prone areas of Tigre, north of Buenos Aires. Using primary and secondary information, an analysis is done of the forms in which this occurs, the adverse environmental impacts and the differential responses generated both inside and outside these suburban projects.

Palavras-chave : adverse environmental consequences; water bodies; gated communities.
