SCHWEITZER, Mariana  e  PETROCELLI, Santiago. Territorialidades en San Lorenzo y en Barranqueras en el marco de la hidrovía Paraná-Paraguay. Cuad. urbano [online]. 2014, vol.17, n.17, pp.5-24. ISSN 1853-3655.

This paper analyzes the emergence of transport projects in the River Plate Basin. In particular those related to the Hidrovía ("Hydroway") Paraná-Paraguay Programme, that reflect the production of territories at different scales. The different spatial impacts of large investments generated in two localized cases are observed: San Lorenzo, a municipality located in the Gran Rosario (Santa Fe) region, site of large investments by transnational corporations, and Barranqueras, located in the Gran Resistencia (Chaco) region, where the economic- productive dynamic is noticeably lower. The paper begins with an explanation of the Hidrovía Paraná-Paraguay Programme, as well as the principal projects linked to it. The conclusions consider the spatial impacts of these projects in terms of population and activities as well as the social and economic tensions derived from them. They were planned to support national and supranational interests but did not contemplate their impacts on the territories involved.

Palavras-chave : Territory, territorialities, hidrovía.
