“…La salvedad que la ley de centros poblados estableció sobre la provisión de saneamiento en balnearios generó conflictos a partir de 1960, cuando áreas originalmente de segunda residencia, comenzaron su reconversión a habitación permanente, particularmente en el Montevideo metropolitano (Artigas et al, 2002). Los balnearios alcanzaron niveles de ocupación significativos a pesar de lo gradual y disperso de este proceso.…”

“…El período de estudio refiere a un ciclo del territorio uruguayo en que tras la dictadura cívico-militar (1973)(1974)(1975)(1976)(1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985) el país afrontó en clave democrática el proceso de apertura económica iniciado en la década de 1970, a partir de la integración regional (Mercado Común del Sur-MERCOSUR, integrado por Argentina, Brasil, Paraguay y Uruguay y creado en 1991) y la globalización. Entre las dinámicas territoriales más significativas del ámbito nacional que pautaron estas últimas décadas se encuentran: la metropolización de Montevideo (Artigas et al, 2002), el fortalecimiento de la red de ciudades y aglomerados intermedios (Martínez y Altmann, 2016) y el emergente de una posible "región urbana" en la costa sur del país, estructurada por la cadena de balnearios rioplatenses y atlánticos y las ciudades de Colonia, Montevideo y Maldonado, bajo la influencia de Buenos Aires (Bervejillo, 2008;Capandeguy, Sprechmann y Aguiar, 2006). Por lo tanto, ya sea desde su consideración como aglomerado intermedio, o en su localización en la costa sur del país en el contexto rioplatense, Maldonado-Punta del Este ha estado involucrado de manera destacada en las transformaciones recientes del espacio nacional uruguayo.…”

El artículo analiza parte de las transformaciones urbanas del segundo aglomerado de Uruguay, Maldonado-Punta del Este, cuyas dinámicas demográficas, desde el último tercio del siglo XX, son inusuales en un país estancado demográficamente. El continuo espacial y funcional entre el sector abocado al turismo de segundas residencias y la ciudad de población permanente, ha dado lugar a una mancha urbana con comportamientos diferenciados. El estudio plantea una lectura espacial de la evolución de la ocupación urbana del suelo, a través del análisis del crecimiento de la superficie de los sectores destinados a vivienda, la subdivisión administrativa del suelo para fines urbanos (fraccionamientos) y dotación de infraestructura urbana. Las fuentes de información son censos de población y vivienda, así como registros administrativos, geolocalizados. La indagación evidencia procesos de densificación y expansión de la trama urbana diferenciados entre sectores con prevalencia de las viviendas de temporada (donde se agregaron nuevos productos del turismo residencial periurbano a las torres y edificios de apartamentos situados en áreas centrales, tensionando las definiciones de “lo urbano”, dadas por sistemas estadísticos y normativas de uso del suelo) y aquellas de población permanente, donde prima la urbanización formal matizada por enclaves de informalidad; generándose heterogéneos tejidos residenciales periféricos.

“…Third, Montevido has been expanding geographically, without demographic growth. Since the 1960s, the city core has lost both residents and functions while the metropolitan area has gained both (Artigas et al, 2002). While poorer families migrated to the north and northwest periphery of the city, wealthier ones moved to the east coast strip, populating the Ciudad de la Costa and its surroundings.…”

Golden Ghettos: Gated Communities and Class Residential Segregation in Montevideo, Uruguay

This paper is at the crossroads of two branches of urban studies. On the one hand, research on residential segregation leans heavily towards the analysis of those who have little choice in deciding where to live. (1) On the other hand, the literature on gated communities tends to assume rather than empirically evaluate their impact on increasing segregation, ignoring contextual variations. (2) I connect these two traditions through the study of a particular group of the affluent who have recently moved to gated communities in Montevideo and its metropolitan area. In the first part of this paper I explain the rationale and findings of this study. Empirical similarities between my findings and those of studies of an apparently very different type of affluent residency, inner-city gentrification, lead to the more theoretical second part of the paper developed in the conclusion. The gated-communities^segregation debateA gated community is a residential development with restricted access, which often includes a guard and other forms of private surveillance. Fences or other types of barriers enclose houses, streets, sidewalks, and other amenities. Although in the title of this paper I call gated communities`golden ghettos' öborrowing this expression from Giroir (2003)öI use the word`ghetto' more as a powerful metaphor than as a sociological concept. Wacquant (2004) and Marcuse (1997) have helped to clarify the sociological meaning of ghetto as an involuntarily spatially concentrated area. Clearly, gated communities do not fit this definition. Since their confinement is voluntary, and their residents occupy a position of superiority in power, wealth, and/or status

“…In large metropolitan areas, global corporations disseminate knowledge and technology to the local or national economic structure; likewise, metropolitan areas are the main actors in restructuring the economy, which leads to the liberalization and opening of the markets, the de-industrialization of the productive structure, the growth of tertiary activities, and the privatization of urban utilities. In the opinion of several authors (Artigas et al, 2002;Chion, 2002;de Mattos, 2002;Moura, 2002;Parnreiter, 2002) the most visible and violent effects of social and economic crises are found in metropolitan areas, emphasizing the vulnerability of the global city model. As stated by Prévôt Schapira (2002), crisis moderates the arguments that praise virtues of the big city, such as its capacity to adapt to the uncertainty of the increasingly volatile economy, as well as to dislodge itself from the national territory, in order to project itself in the global realm.…”

Throughout the twentieth century, there was a notable population shift in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, from rural living situations to urban centers. In 2000 there were 49 cities with populations of over one million, four of them among the 10 largest cities in the world. Toward the end of the twentieth century, some of these cities had begun to take on the characteristics of metropolitan areas. This book explores the complex issues involved in managing metropolitan systems. "Governing the Metropolis: Principles and Cases" explores key issues, presents practical principles of good governance as they apply to the metropolis, and unfolds cases of institutional and programmatic arrangements to tackle such issues.
