ONS, Melina. Informal settlements and large urban projects in the city of Buenos Aires: The case of Villa 31. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.3, pp.891-920.  Epub Nov 22, 2021. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v36i3.1977.

The Villa 31-31 bis, or Padre Carlos Mugica neighborhood, is the oldest informal settlement and one of the largest in the City of Buenos Aires. It is located near the main administrative and employment centers of the city, in an area with the highest land prices in the district. The local government is developing an upgrading program that was sanctioned by law and, mainly, dictates the installation of public services and the regularization of tenure through mortgages paid by the residents. The intervention takes place as the settlements environment transits a requalification and revaluation process, hand in hand with large public and private urban projects. This article analyzes the content of the redevelopment law within the framework of urban dynamics and land regulation policies in which it is applied.

Keywords : informal settlements; regularization of tenure; large urban projects; urban regulation.
