Relocation or social welfare? Evaluation of accessibility conditions in eradications in the Metropolitan Area of Tucumán

Abstract

The Metropolitan Area of Tucumán (AMeT) is undergoing a process of gentrification linked to intense socio-spatial fragmentation, expressed through the unequal growth –regarding both area and population– of municipalities and communes (Gómez López, Cuozzo and Boldrini, 2015). The Institute for Planning, Housing and Urban Development (IPVDU) is undertaking operations to regularize historic settlements in the ATS through relocations. In this context, this research aims to conduct a critical review of this process, based on a multicriterial, comparative analysis of cases, in relation to the strategies to ensure the accessibility of basic services and quality of life for the population.
