Despite the existence of a large potential of land able to be recycled, this has still been happening sparsely in Latin American cities. The projects that have been completed, few, have been called into question. In turn, the programs to revitalize the historic centers and re-densify peri-central areas cannot be seen as initiatives for urban regeneration, in the sense that they consisted mainly in promoting dynamics that highlight tourism and culture, and intensive real estate development, respectively. Nevertheless, to conclude that there are no valuable experiences of urban regeneration in the region would be an error. These are found under different modalities, and rather in peripheral working-class neighborhoods, where comprehensive urban improvement programs are being carried out. Decentering the gaze towards these initiatives may contribute in reassessing the general vision towards urban regeneration in the region. Tradicionalmente, en el campo del urbanismo, el término regeneración urbana refiere al proceso de producción urbana que se ha vuelto predominante en las ciudades de Europa y América del norte desde hace ya varias décadas: la implementación de grandes proyectos urbanos de recuperación, tanto física como socio-económica, de áreas intra-urbanas, generalmente en desuso. Esto se está dando todavía poco en las ciudades latinoamericanas, a pesar de la existencia de un alto potencial de suelo posible de reciclar. Los proyectos realizados, escasos, son cuestionados. A su vez, los programas para revitalizar los centros históricos y redensificar las áreas peri-centrales no pueden ser considerados como iniciativas de regeneración urbana, en el sentido en que consistieron principalmente en impulsar dinámicas de puesta en valor turístico-cultural y de desarrollo inmobiliario intensivo, respectivamente. Sin embargo, sería un error concluir que no existen experiencias valiosas de regeneración urbana en la región. Éstas se encuentran, aunque bajo otras modalidades, en los barrios populares de las periferias urbanas, donde se están llevando a cabo programas de mejoramiento urbano integral. Descentrar la mirada hacia estas iniciativas podría contribuir a replantear la visión que se tiene de la regeneración urbana en la región.
