| Summary: | The linear form of expansion along vehicular roads became one of the dominant patterns of contemporary urban expansion. As an object of study, we refer to this linear form as Urban Expansion Corridors, as historical and prospective research units. The aim of this article is to clarify this particular way of inhabiting the city, by examining the materialization of the built environment along with the failures of urban public policy and its challenges To this end, we analyse the case of an intermediate Latin American city (Santa Fe, Argentina), whose growth acquired linear forms in a complex fluvial environment. The starting point is a theoretical and conceptual positioning that proposes to revisit the notion of urban space, to then examine –from this renewed perspective– the proposed case study; in particular its Littoral Corridors. The discussions aim to problematize the interventions –especially in the road sector– of urban public policies in the spatial configuration of CEU, as well as to consider the challenges that these new ways of inhabiting the territory present to urban planning. |
