Laverde Cabrera, Omar David Suburbs Latin American city real estate infrastructure suburbanization urban planning barrios periféricos ciudad latinoamericana gestión inmobiliaria infraestructura suburbanización urbanismo In this paper the issue of Gated Communities in Latin America is presented through the study of cases in Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and Brazil. After forty years of a strong influence of this foreign model that permeated this type of urban formations, this article seeks to answer the question: how did this model come to these countries and which common features are found in its approach? As a consequence the actions of private entities are recognized which for their construction and sale have defined common patterns that are characterized by multiple infrastructures, equipment and a high level of self-sufficiency. This groups one type of community to whom a family life is offered with the amenities and safety related to the purchasing power of the highest class inside the city, but that in turn deals with high levels of social exclusion. Thus, cases such as that of Palmares Urban residential complex set in Mendoza, Argentina, Lomas de Chapultepec in Mexico City, Hacienda Fontanar in Bogota, Colombia, and Alphaville in Sao Paulo, Brazil, are typical examples of this urban model. En este documento se presenta el tema de las Gated Communities en Latinoamérica observando casos en Argentina, México, Colombia y Brasil. Tras cuarenta años de la fuerte influencia de este modelo foráneo que permeó este tipo de formaciones urbanas se busca responder la pregunta: ¿cómo este modelo llegó a estos países y qué características comunes se encuentran en su planteamiento? Como consecuencia se reconoce que son acciones de entidades privadas que para su construcción y venta han definido patrones comunes que se caracterizan por múltiples infraestructuras, equipamientos y un nivel elevado de autosuficiencia, que agrupan un solo tipo de comunidad a la que se le ofrece una vida familiar con comodidades y seguridad relacionadas con el poder adquisitivo de la clase más alta dentro de la ciudad, pero que a su vez manejan altos índices de exclusión social. Es así como los casos del complejo residencial Conjunto Urbano Palmares en Mendoza, Argentina; Lomas de Chapultepec en ciudad de México; la Hacienda Fontanar en Bogotá, Colombia, y Alphaville en São Paulo, Brasil, son ejemplos característicos de este modelo urbano.
