Agrarian Total Income in the Neoliberal City. Recovery of Railway Infrastructures, Plundering of Public Properties and Urbanization in the Argentina of the Soybean

The article addresses the economic expansion due to the export of commodities as a trigger for urban expansion in Latin American cities. The objective is to explain those dynamics in agglomerations of the central area of Argentina, a zone specially oriented to soybean culti­vation in the last twenty years. However, the emphasis is placed on the urban consequences of the recovery of railway infrastructures for South American integration in freight traffic. With a qualitative methodological approach, the article provides a bibliographic and casuistic review, advancing on specific problems of the neoliberal city in the case of Santa Fe City. The first part addresses macroeconomic dimensions that affect the region, the second addresses the singularities of the Argentine railway plan and, finally, the urbanization processes derived from both are explained.
