Abstract

Resumen Este artículo analiza un caso de renovación urbana en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, liderado por el sector público y el sector inmobiliario, en el marco de un régimen urbano empresarialista, desde el año 2004, así como la emergencia de movilización social y la ambientalización del conflicto. Para la gestión de un nuevo modelo de desarrollo urbano, la naturaleza constituye un plusvalor, mientras que actores colectivos impugnan la instalación de estos desarrollos urbanos por su impacto ambiental y por la imposición de una lógica mercantil en su territorio. A partir de un enfoque etnográfico, este articulo aporta al debate sobre el extractivismo urbano y sobre el derecho a acceder espacios verdes y públicos cada vez más escasos.Abstract This article analyzes a case of urban renewal in the city of Buenos Aires that has been led by the public sector and the real estate sector within an urban entrepreneurial regime since 2004. It also studies the social mobilization that arose in opposition to it, as environmental issues became central to the conflict. For those involved in forging a new model of urban development, nature entails an opportunity to generate surplus value. Meanwhile, other collective actors dispute the installation of these urban developments, pointing out their environmental impact and decrying the imposition of a commercial logic in their territory. Based on an ethnographic approach, this article aims to contribute to a larger debate on urban extractivism and people’s right to access green and public spaces, which are becoming more and more scarce.
