CERONI, Mauricio; FONSECA, Aline da; SCHON, Feline  e  DOMINGUEZ, Ana. Strategic territory and segregation: the northeast region of the Metropolitan Area of Montevideo. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.51, pp.403-427. ISSN 2448-6183.

Latin American metropolitan areas currently undergo various regional changes which have intensified over the past decades. This study analyzes the territorial dynamics that have occurred in the Northeast Region of the Metropolitan Area of Montevideo, considering concepts such as territorial segregation and strategic territories as a key to understand these changes. Geoprocessing techniques are used and an index of socioeconomic stratification is produced. The results indicate a steady growth of urbanization pressing on rural uses, showing a process of rapid change in different social classes in which the State is one of the key actors to favor territorial segregation.

Palavras-chave : territorial segregation; strategic territory; land use; Metropolitan Area of Montevideo.
