Tendencias de segregación residencial socioeconómica: El caso de Córdoba (Argentina) en el período 2001-2008

Abstract

Segregation studies have become relevant in recent decades as a result of the changes derived from the capitalist accumulation model and its effects on cities. The aim of this paper is to identify in Córdoba municipality (Argentina's second largest city) the degree of socioeconomic mix present in different urban areas and analyze its evolution in the 2001-2008 period, which coincides with economic recovery and improvement in social indicators. It seeks to provide a situation analysis regarding socioeconomic residential segregation in the city -which can be useful to guide the development of urban and housing policies when evaluating possible locations-, and the scale of programs. Both are important factors when it comes to actions aimed to reduce social inequalities and enable the integration of people in the city. © EURE.
