| Sumario: | After the result of the PASO On August 13, 2023 in Argentina, the most voted force in the figure of Javier Milei, opens the possibility of the return of neoliberalism to the government and a review is timely. Neoliberalism has been evolving in the world for morethan eighty years; During this time, it has deployed its postulates in various forms of territorialization. Cities have represented a privileged scale for its reproduction. It is proposed in this article to make an extract of its postulates and historical evolution basedon a bibliographic review. It is complemented by the analysis of the instruments for applying neoliberal urban policies: “a new generation of urban codes” and “urban agreements”. Comparative studies are collected from the cities of Buenos Aires,Córdoba and Rosario in Argentina between 2012 and 2022. The new codes and urban planning agreements are constituted as urban management instruments that articulate specific arrangements established between development companies and the citygovernment. The objective is to observe the impact of this instrument between the years 2012-2022, and its implementation in these three cities in relation to social conflict. Finally, it is concluded that the territorialization of the neoliberal city through thisinstrument has led to channeling a strong flow of capital from other formal and informal sectors of the economy; and on the other hand to the establishment of exclusive highend territories within the cities; generating more inequality, fragmentation due toaccumulation of exceptions, since these agreements are approved under a tax collection logic, with strong social segregation, and territorial imbalances. It has accentuated conflict between neighbors, where the unequal territorialization of neoliberal projects ismanifested, characterized by their variable, multi-scalar and interconnected geographic matrix. |
