Chapter Chapter 4 in Neoliberal Urban Governance, 2023, pp 69-103 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses the urbanization project of Villa 31 located in the center side of the city. It examines Buenos Aires’ neoliberal urban governance in its drive to physically and socially transform Villa 31 into Barrio 31. Since 2016, attention has been steered to urbanizing one the most of deprived and stigmatized areas of the city, Villa 31, recently renamed “Barrio 31”. Neoliberal governance operations, strategies, and common understandings of the physical transformation of Villa 31 into Barrio 31 are discussed in this chapter. These helped rationalize this governance’s projects and provided the frame to understand its current center side redevelopment incursion.
