Urban heterotopies are places that interrupt the apparent continuity and normality of the city. For example, they are the shanty towns, but also the glamorous elite districts such as Canary Wharf in London, to cite a well-known case. How are these spaces embedded into the supposedly unitary and balanced state spatiality? Based on the comparative case study of the sector plans for two Í€œvillasÍ€ in Buenos Aires, implemented simultaneously in the same territoryÍ€”and during the same urbanization processÍ€”this article investigates the networks of projects and strategies to show the modalities and innovations in the production of the state space of Buenos Aires. Based on a qualitative approach for two basic planning dimensions, the paper shows dialectical relationships, between different scales, investment and regulation cycles that are usually overlooked not only by research, delimited to the Í€œenclavesÍ€, but also due to the discursive effects of the supposedly Í€œintegralÍ€ urban policies.Downloads
