Abstract

This paper presents the state of advance in the academic experience called "Analysis of the urban articulation in the Barrio General Belgrano (Villa 15)" where besides the scientific work, the chance of establishing a coordination with the local management is aimed at. It contains an interdisciplinary approach to be applied in the field, mixing qualitative methodologies (participatory observation, record, interviews) with field measurements and constructive analysis. Very specific technical support during emergencies (evictions, flooding, infrastructure). Villa 15 (Hidden City) is a very complex sector: very large (17, 5 hectares in 32 blocks), highly populated (10.000 inhabitants), strong consolidation (more than 50 years), several evictions, social exclusion policies even under democracy, applying collectively to state founding, low participation, old animosities, governmental decision makers keep their distance, little connection with the formal city, no connections with the university, a few ONG´s. The decision was made to act in an unprivileged sector (block 32) through routes, internal meetings, participation in networks within the Villa. A study is made of the social actors (inhabitants of the block, nearby neighbours, GCBA, etc) who sometimes have different interests but who inevitable act in the same space. Settling dynamics, production ways, agreements, disagreements, projects by the neighbours and the state, all are taken into account.
