Abstract:

The City of Córdoba evidences the materialization of the residential fragmentation model taking place in several Latin American cities. The aim of this article is to study location patterns in gated communities from the City of Córdoba to build an analysis matrix that will allow the study of transformations in the urban structure model. The base methodology used in this article is documentary analysis of visual documents, carried out by urban morphology tools. Results show an intensification of the urban fragmentation model between 1990 and 2010, and its almost exclusive settlement on city areas with the highest income. This disputes some notions about the novelty of urban structure models in Latin American cities since the 1970s.
