Resumen:
In implementing the development of industrial projects or industrial capitalism, there is a distinct need to carefully consider its potential environmental impact. Villa Inflamable (Flammable Village), a shanty town built on the edges of Buenos Aires, lies in a section of the Matanza-Riachuelo River Basin. It is bordered by the festering waters of the river and the petrochemical complex of Dock Sud, making it a prime example to analyze the impact of industrial development on the environment and consequently, the community. The analysis and investigation into this community was
conducted as a four-year-long research project that combined both an academic and an activist perspective.
