Abstract
This thesis analyzes the effects that the location of informal neighborhoods has (or not) on the characteristics assumed by the process and the experience of segregation. In its macro scale, we investigate the urban and social characteristics and the relative position occupied by the villas in the city. At the micro level, we focus on the daily spatial practices of its inhabitants, trying to understand how they facilitate or hinder access to the complex use value of the city. Thus, we seek to conceptualize differential segregation dynamics from the analysis of two case studies that have different locations in the City of Buenos Aires: Villa 15, located in V. Lugano-Comuna 8, south of the city, and Rodrigo Bueno in Puerto Madero-Comuna 1, nearby the downtown area. We put into practice a multiscale, processual and mobile segregation approach, based on a mixed methodological strategy, which combines qualitative and quantitative tools.
