Resumen:
Summing up, the process of metropolitan growth in Buenos Aires has been defined by strong socio-spatial disparities, a fragmented organization of social power an political representation over space, a disregard view of envieroment supported by market-driven actions , and a disarticulated planning system framed by the market ideology. However, the lack of state  planning policies that favored social equities does not mean the state was absent. All levels of governement were active players in the transformation of metropolitan Buenos Aires by supportieng the market ideology that framed the policies of  1990s.  The forces of globalization  certainly affected the urban landscape of Buenos Aires but the local mechanisms used to produce and reproduce the urban space are an essential part of the transformation. Certainly, the forces behind the urban transformation of the 1990s were not those of urban sustainability.
