Accessing spatial & social diversity and building up a strategic framework for a cohesive city CONTEXT “BUENOS AIRES, A CITY OF CONTRASTS”
PROJECT INTENTION
The process of metropolitan expansion in Buenos Aires owns following significant features: increasing social and spatial inequalities; political power have tended to
Our Projects title „LIVING ON THE EDGE“ represents both the topic of a live on the edge of existence and a life on the edge of the CABA in the south of Buenos Aires, as well as our approach to create positive interactions on the edges of fragmented patches.The project aims to assess spatial and social diversity and to built up a strategic framework for a cohesive City.
accumulate in city center which is represented by spatial fragmentation; a fragmented supply of public services marked by a market orientation which excludes some of the population; a process of production of the built environment which obeys market princi ples, with a predominance of private planning and intervention sucha as infrastructure ; and a form of urban management and production of the urban environment that is guided by the search for growth rather than improvements in quality of life (Pirez, 2009).

Cities have long been enmeshed in global economic and cultural networks which is so called globalization influencing not only global cities but also in these area are internationally subordinate. This dominant trend brings new spatial division of labour, articulation of production and markets which leads to concentration and accumulation of international capital. However, more social costs are observed during the globalization process and which are emphasised by seven hypothesises of world city by Sassen (2004),

By identifying the patchworks within the city, a similar strategic network could be developed in multi ple parts of the city. Then the work on different interaction levels between the most problematic divisions of CABA and AMBA can be fostered from all angles. This is the next step of a strategic project concerning social segregation.
