Abstract: This article focuses on the ways in which environmental degradation occurs, is publicized and “managed†in urban areas. It examines the perspectives and the actions undertaken by the various social actors in these conditions. This analysis is based on a case study of the port town of Ingeniero White in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Ingeniero White has a deep-water port, several large grain terminals, and a large petrochemical complex. The analysis reveals the forms of popular organization, which have opposed the environmental degradation in this urban setting. This case study is based on past research, official reports, press articles, and in-depth interviews with local actors.
