Abstract

This paper analyses some aspects of industrys territorial restructuring in the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires (RMBA), through the consideration of three industrial parks: one that has consolidated -the case of Pilar- and two that were developed -La Plata and La Cantábrica- during the nineties. Our purpose is to characterize comparatively these parks in connection with the process of productive and territorial restructuring in the RMBA. The paper is organized as follows: first some theoretical considerations involving industrial organization and industrial parks are formulated; second, RMBAs industrial activity and its recent evolution are described, embedded in a process of metropolitan restructuring; third, parks history in Argentina and in RMBA is synthesized; fourth, Pilar, La Cantábrica (Morón) and La Plata industrial parks are characterized; last, some thoughts involving the relationship between industrial parks and territorial organization of metropolitan industry are stated.
