Chapter Chapter 2 in Neoliberal Urban Governance, 2023, pp 27-44 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines current neoliberal governance in Buenos Aires as its actors operate along the center and south side redevelopment frontier: their motivations, goals, and strategies that define the current redevelopment. In particular, it describes this governance’s core urban agenda in Buenos Aires from 2011 to 2021, through Mauricio Macri and Rodriguez Larreta administrations. Buenos Aires neoliberal urban governance pushes to build a city that celebrates social integration while it deepens and expands spaces and infrastructure for cultural and esthetic consumption as means to attract investment. This is followed by a brief description of the strategies and rhetoric (common understandings, imagined spaces, and sanitary codes) neoliberal actors create and work through to advance their redevelopment plans along the center and south side areas.
