MEDINA, Víctor Damián. Urban growth and spatial inequality in San Carlos de Bariloche. Bitácora Urbano Territorial [online]. 2017, vol.27, n.2, pp.101-108. ISSN 0124-7913.  https://doi.org/10.15446/bitacora.v27n2.55689.

This article aims to describe two trends of spatial occupation in the tourist city of San Carlos de Bariloche from a conception that considers space as a socially constitutive form derived from human intervention in the physical environment. These trends are part of the typical features assumed by the territorial expansion of the city that are associated with spatial inequality and in particular unequal access to urban land. In these terms, it is noted how these can accentuate spatial inequalities and strengthen social distances between the inhabitants of the city and threaten urban sociability. Finally, the importance of space in these relationships is analyzed by reiterating the need to avoid reifying and explained by the nature and the physical environment, particularly in the case of the examined Andean town, social issues that deserve to be addressed as sociological problems.
