Resumen:
During the last three decades the largest population growth occurs in the far periphery of large cities. Buenos Aires (Argentina), one of the twenty world largest metropolises, has grown even more away from the central city (Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires). An extensive periphery but low in density, a poor service provision and sharp contrast between poor and rich people. Community centers are week, hardly integrated by the railway lines, and its roads aren’t passable at all to walk along in every season of the year.
