The urbanization of Rodrigo Bueno village generates a new neighborhood in the most expensive land of the city

Since many years
the villagers Rodrigo Bueno had to live with the ghost of eradication and protect themselves in the justice that had to intervene to guarantee the health conditions.
From eviction to urbanization, we could summarize the history of colonization that appeared in the 1980s, which is currently undergoing a significant and permanent change.

This is the relocation of the first 23 families in the new departments of the 46 buildings built next to the mbadif which increased in number of inhabitants after the economic crisis of 2001.
part of the relocation program in charge of the Housing Institute (IVC) in addition to the other processes
already started at Villa 20, 31, 21-24 and soon to Fraga (Chacarita).

"The first night, I could not sleep, I thought:" this may not be possible ", but I realized that it was not a dream, I even cried sometimes because having this house is more than I thought, "says Lucia Beltrán. while you look through the lentil stew you are preparing. He always has cartons, bags and furniture scattered in the apartment and four rooms are allocated to him. He moved just four days ago.

"We lived in total marginalization, near the river and with the consequences that it had for the health of my children, I feel stronger than ever to face this commitment to pay the credit to leave something to my children, "says the woman who will live there with Gino, Juan, Stefani, Axel and Bella Rubí, their five children.

Pablo Gamarra's apartment is smaller than Lucia's, but he has plenty of room to live with his wife, Elizabeth Napuri, who works from Monday to Friday as a domestic with a bed in the kitchen. inside. "We had a room for everything, sleeping, cooking, everything, we shared the bathroom with another family and even with his dog, it was very boring and unhealthy", explains Pablo, painter and former inhabitant of the side.

In this region, he lived in a rented room. "I put the head out the window and there was the river, I saw rodents, all kinds of vermin, a lot of pollution, we did not suffer from the l '&",,,,,. flooding because we were on the third floor, but the family downstairs had water inside the house each time she was growing up "he says.

Lucia, Pablo and 21 other families moved a few days ago. In the coming weeks, family movements will continue to 230 people, the most vulnerable because they are located in an area near the Río de la Plata and threatened by floods. In total, there will be 612 family groups that will occupy the new homes that have crossed just a few meters from the Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve.

Last March, there was only one clearing and the first machines used to match the land where the buildings are. The urbanization plan started in 2016 when the project was announced and the local population was interviewed.

These data, the latest officers, showed that in the vicinity of four blocks
2665 people lived in 996 families and 563 homes. 93% of the families do not have access to the public gas network, none of them have drinking water of the official circuit, 38% drains the sewers of the river and the connection to the electricity is totally informal .

Located on Avenida España at 32:00, between the green lung and the old Ciudad Deportiva de Boca Juniors,
the neighborhood occupies a land of great value on the market. According to the specialized website Real Estate Report in this region, the square meter is sold at nearly $ 6,000. Perhaps because of this situation, so much speculation has been generated by the fate of the neighborhood.

The
The history of the city has had several legal and protagonist chapters that have manifested themselves until arriving at the current project of urbanization. In the center, there were also contradictions that, looking back, leave the government badly stopped.

In 2005, there was talk of the eradication of the city as it did not promote the construction of a new neighborhood in the former Sports City with an investment of 500 million dollars. The plan was to plot this housing complex with Puerto Madero.

"We are working with the Housing Institute to solve this problem, we will not promote the violent eviction of land, we will not go with bulldozers, the neighborhood that s 39; is installed there will go and the government will make space at the ecological reserve, "he badured
THE NATION in January of this year, the deputy head of government and secretary of social development at the time, Jorge Telerman. The position was defended by the former head of government, Aníbal Ibarra.

Time later,
In November 2006, the eradication of Rodrigo Bueno was announced for the second time and must be done by the Ministry of Public Space. "The eradication will begin this month with people who do not have children in school and, in December and January, it will affect all the inhabitants," said Lía. María in the Legislative Assembly, in his capacity as head of the ministry.

Alerted by the situation, the neighbors have filed an amparo order asking for the cancellation of a decree sanctioning the release of the area. It was the first court trip. Later, in 2011, Judge Elena Liberatori, of the Administrative and Tax Disputes Court No. 4, explained the reason for the proposal made by the neighbors. Liberatori ordered the government to present a plan for social and urban integration and provide the district with public services. He also declared the decree null and void.

"In reality, it is absurd, in this case it is a region where there is no adequate infrastructure for people to live.
We validate a shot; people have usurped a place, "said Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, chief of staff of Buenos Aires.
"We are going to appeal the decision, it is very slightly validate the people who took place a few years ago and we must now give them ownership of the land," he added.

The conviction of Liberatoria was ineffective in 2014 after a ruling of the Appeals Chamber in administrative and fiscal litigation
judged that urbanization on the territory of the ecological reserve was unachievable. The matter was brought before the Superior Court of Justice, where he waited for a definition that never arrived before in 2016, IVC announced the intervention in the neighborhood.

Urbanization envisages the construction of new homes in land bordering the colony that are delivered to families according to a selection according to their needs and those of work. Each owner has received a credit from the IVC and the City Bank and must pay a fee of which the amount can not exceed 20% of his income.

Unoccupied homes will be demolished to facilitate swelling, ie opening the streets, paths and lungs of apple. The houses that will remain in the mbadif will have a value.

The 612 apartments of the 46 buildings have running water, electricity, sewers and rainwater collectors. They also have solar heaters to reduce energy consumption. New public spaces and a gastronomic playground will be created to boost neighbors' projects.
