Abstract

The last few decades have seen an increase in the travel and transference of urban models and policies, ideas and techniques as well as an increased academic interest in these processes. At the same time, Latin America has experienced a proliferation of large urban projects and relevant analysis. This paper seeks to establish a link between these two issues by addressing the work of the Corporación Antiguo Puerto Madero Sociedad Anónima (CAPMSA) in different Latin American cities and raising questions about the mobilization of urban models and policies, the mechanisms for the mobilization of these initiatives and the experts and social actors in charge of the circulation of these mechanisms.
