Expresiones del neoliberalismo en ciudades portuarias sudamericanas: los casos de Rosario (Argentina) y Valparaíso (Chile)

Neoliberal urban restructuring manifests distinctly in Latin American port cities, with Rosario (Argentina) and Valparaíso (Chile) serving as key case studies. This study identifies how neoliberal policies reshape these historic seaports through regressive urban reforms, often exacerbating social inequality while preserving elite interests. Researchers combined bibliographic analysis of neoliberalism's origins in Latin America with qualitative interviews to uncover its spatial and political dimensions. Findings reveal that port cities like Valparaíso, once symbols of 19th-century progress, now embody neoliberal fragmentation—where gentrification, privatization, and precarious labor coexist with cultural preservation efforts. The study underscores the role of urban restructuring as both a tool and symptom of neoliberalism's endurance in the region.
