oai:ojs.revistas.uchile.cl:article-542772021-08-06T21:30:02Z Gentrification in Costa Rica: An exploratory study based on the income gap indicator Gentrificación en Costa Rica: un estudio exploratorio a partir del indicador de brecha de renta Molina, Wendy This investigation attempts to verify the presence of gentrification processes in the Greater Metropolitan Area of Costa Rica, based on the analysis of the indicators of Income Gap Capture and Potential Population Expulsion. For this, the debate that exists around the concept, its application in other Latin American countries and its findings, as well as the characteristics of urban development in Costa Rica since the early twentieth century are analyzed. The results show that, indeed, in the northwestern rural area of the city, there is a capture and accumulation of the income gap and the potential expulsion of the population at very high levels when compared to that found in other Latin American cities. Finally, one of the most remarkable findings is discussed: the rural character of our gentrification, and the absence of gentrification in central areas. It is proposed that this modality of gentrification can be understood from the neoliberal urban governance model of Costa Rica since the 1980s, which has marked the trend of deregulated growth of the city, making it expansive, fragmented and deteriorating and abandonment of the center, where only weak and very recent processes of urban renewal are registered. En esta investigación se intenta verificar la presencia de procesos de gentrificación en la Gran Área Metropolitana de Costa Rica, a partir del análisis de los indicadores de Captura de Brecha de Renta y Expulsión Potencial de Población. Para ello se analiza el debate que existe alrededor del concepto, su aplicación en otros países latinoamericanos y sus hallazgos, así como las características del desarrollo urbano en Costa Rica desde inicios del siglo XX. Los resultados muestran que, efectivamente, en la zona rural noroeste de la ciudad, se registra captura y acumulación de brecha de renta y expulsión potencial de población en niveles muy elevados si se los compara con lo hallado en otras ciudades latinoamericanas. Finalmente, se discute acerca de uno de los hallazgos más destacables: el carácter rural de nuestra gentrificación, y la ausencia de gentrificación en zonas céntricas. Se propone que esta modalidad de la gentrificación puede comprenderse a partir del modelo de gobernanza urbana neoliberal de Costa Rica desde la década de los años 1980, el que ha marcado la tendencia de crecimiento desregulado de la ciudad, haciéndola expansiva, fragmentada y con deterioro y abandono del centro, en donde sólo se registran débiles y muy recientes procesos de renovación urbana.
