Abstract

MENAZZI, Luján. El proceso en la ciudad: El caso del traslado del Mercado Nacional de Hacienda de Liniers durante la última dictadura militar Argentina. Cuad. urbano [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.12, pp.95-114. ISSN 1853-3655.

The article analyses interventions and urban processes initiated during the last military dictatorship (1976-1983) on the basis of a specific case: the failed attempt to move the Cattle Market outside the city of Buenos Aires. The aim is to reconstruct the political dynamics of this process, considering the political decision and the factors that prevented the eradication. This paper seeks to call into question certain statements that conceptualize the dictatorship as a total turning point in terms of urban policy, considering it all-powerful, deliberate and consistent. With this purpose the paper delves into two issues related to this case. On the one hand the different government areas responsible for intervening in urban issues and on the other, the heterogeneity of high ranking figures within the dictatorial cast defending different interests. The first issue entailed a very partial and inconsistent transformation of the area. Secondly, the resilience shown by some sectors/actors in hindering the political will to move the market.

Keywords : Urban processes; Dictatorship; Buenos Aires City.
