CASTAGNA, Alicia I.; RAPOSO, Isabel  and  WOELFLIN, María Lidia. Irregular settlements in Rosario: Urban conflicts and social vulnerability. SaberEs [online]. 2018, vol.10, n.1, pp.87-105. ISSN 1852-4418.

In Argentina, growth and crises alternated in time, producing changes in the accumulation pattern and influencing the urban processes of town segmentation and integration. In Rosario, the irregular settlements are a phenomenon manifested since 1930"s, and far from disappearing product of habitat policies application, have become a structural manifestation that persists and reconverts today. Since the nineties, large real estate operations have coexisted with areas of informal occupation on which public action instruments are applied, trying to change these areas and to integrate them definitively to the city. Actually, investments are prioritized to improve physical and social conditions and to work on the land market to add these marginal segments to the formal urban framework. However, it is far from reaching to a solution of social fragmentation based on the implementation of local policies

Keywords : Irregular Settlement; Urban Segmentation; Habitat Policies.
