This paper intends to reflect upon the possible effects of the "new" habitat policies, implemented in Argentina in the neo-developmentalist period, on social inclusion and access to the city. The program that led to the building of the urban complex Padre Mugica represents a paradigmatic case. It allows measuring the impacts of the actions of the State through programs oriented towards social inclusion that aim to solve the housing and employment deficit. An analysis that retraces the design, management and implementation of the Padre Mugica urban complex has allowed us to problematize the existence of a break between the logic of traditional and new social housing policies, as well as understand some of its effects on the territory and on the levels of welfare and social integration of targeted households.

This paper tries to situate urban mobility studies into the more general framework of present neoliberalism. Since neoliberalism discourses quite often are too general and abstract, we transform them into a middle range theory in order to make closer both phenomena. In so doing we explore different process of territorial neoliberalization to understand how they influence urban mobilities, and to discover how urban mobilities reproduce and extend such neoliberalization. The main purpose is to establish hypothesis and topics for succeeding studies in constructing a research agenda on urban mobility and neoliberalism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
This paper presents the results of an investigation intended to disclose the various forms through which urban space has been produced in Santiago's outer limits. With that purpose in mind, two settlements built by the end of the 1950s were analyzed following Lefebvre's theory of production of space (2013): La Victoria, and San Gregorio. They both constitute appropriate examples of emerging new agents in urban space in Chile during the 1950s, and of their ways of producing urban space in Santiago's periphery, methods whose objective was to gain State recognition as formal urban settlers, a status they aspired to achieve through a fair deal during the process.
