Suburbanization of the cities of santa fe and santo tome. Fragmentation and boundaries in the xpansion areas. The present tendencies of urban organization are characterized by pro-cesses of fragmentation due to the dispersal of infrastructure and urban functions, resulting in transformations in territorial organization and in patterns of segregation of society. In-ternal migrations towards residential suburban zones, facilitated by the extension of trans-portation networks are viewed as the distinctive factors that contribute to these changes. In this sense, the pathways of contemporary expansion and growth generate socio-spatial fragments which can be examined under the light of material and immaterial borders. The present paper focusses on the diffusion of enclosed urbanizations in a context of intermedi-ate scale developments, particularly in the case of the cities of Santa Fe and Santo Tome, along the Rosario-Santa Fe highway, with the objective of analysing their spatial, temporal and social limits.

Keywords : Urban expansion; territorial fragmentation; urban boundaries; closed urbanizations.
