PARUSSINI, Alejandra M. J. El proceso de suburbanización del cordón oeste metropolitano de Rosario: Ideas de ciudad. Cuad. urbano [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.12, pp.115-135. ISSN 1853-3655.

Current conurbations have spatially and functionally swallowed nearby towns, through a process of territorial transformation characterized by urban sprawl. Suburbanization is today one of the main patterns of development of large cities. This case study presents the case of linear sprawl. The West Spur of the metropolitan city of Rosario. This Spur has undergone a process of urban sprawl linked to the central city, which began in the early 60's and intensified in the 90s. The Spur provides a recreation area due to its natural conditions and its substantial forest landscape. The expansion process was shaped through successive property transactions, including sales of building lots for weekend or permanent housing,, and the incorporation of new gated community developments which present characteristics of the garden city model.
