Abstract

In the face of the growth and the infill of the urban popular environment in the Buenos Aires province, Argentina, governmental initiatives of regularization have been implemented in order to abide the population where there is settled down, to regularize the building possession, and to make easier the property access. Since three decades, different resources have been used to deal with the territory and urban dimensions of the irregularity. In this presentation, the irregularity treatment at the city of La Plata (capital of the Buenos Aires province) and its (non-)dialog with the urban politics are analyzed. The consolidation of two windows from where the public administration face the territorial legal system - both formal and informal cities- has taken shape in an institutional framework that strengthens the ex post treatment of the irregularity, without caring for its causes.
