Resumen
Buenos Aires guarda una relación esquiva con la ribera y con los cursos de agua que la atraviesan. De hecho, a pesar de limitar con un frente costero muy extenso y de estar surcada por numerosos ríos, arroyos y zanjones, la ciudad nunca se hizo demasiado cargo ni de sus aguas ni de sus costas. En este marco, el trabajo indaga el proceso de urbanización de la ribera, mostrando que ninguno de los proyectos pensados para esta porción de la ciudad, hasta fines del siglo XXI, logra imponer su ideario urbano. Por el contrario, estos idearios fueron muchas veces contradictorios y se plasmaron en partes o porciones de la extensión costera. A pesar de ello, todos parecen haber tenido una misma, aunque limitada intención: domar el río y sus aguas bajo un proyecto políticamente hegemónico y económicamente rentable. El cometido sólo se alcanzará -no sin tensiones- en los albores del siglo XXI bajo la égida del desarrollo del nuevo barrio de Puerto Madero y de la intención de extender sus beneficios y lógicas a la vasta silueta zigzagueante de la ribera.
Buenos Aires has an elusive linkage with the shores and water courses that run across it. In fact, in spite of limiting with a very extensive coastal front and of being cut through by many rivers, streams and ditches, the city never thoroughly took care of its waters and coasts. Within this framework, this work inquires about the urbanization process of its water front, pointing out that none of the projects designed for this part of the city, until the end of the XXI century, has imposed its urban design. On the contrary, these designs were often contradictory and were only carried out in parts or portions of the coastal extension. In spite of this, all seem to have had the same, although limited purpose: to tame the river and its waters under a political hegemonic and economically profitable project. This purpose will only be achieved –not without tensions- at the beginning of the XXI century under the protection of the new Puerto Madero district and the intention of extending –with adaptations- its benefits and logics to the vast zigzagging silhouette of the shore.
