| Sumario: | The article analyzes part of the urban transformations of Maldonado-Punta del Este, the second urban agglomeration of Uruguay. Its demographic dynamics, since the last third of the 20th century, are unusual in a demographically stagnant country. The spatial and functional continuum between the sector dedicated to second-residencial tourism and the city with a permanent population implies a challenge to understand an urban area with differentiated behaviors.
This study proposes a spatial analysis of the evolution of urban land occupation, through the growth of the surface of the sectors destined for housing, administrative subdivision of the land for urban purposes and provision of urban infrastructure. The analysis is carried out from statistical information and geolocated administrative records.
The investigation shows processes of densification and expansion of the urban fabric differentiated between sectors with a prevalence of seasonal housing (where new products of peri-urban residential tourism were added to the towers and apartment buildings located in central areas that stress the definitions of urban areas, given by statistical systems and land-use regulations) and those of permanent population, where formal urbanization nuanced by informality enclaves prevails; generating heterogeneous peripheral residential tissues. |
