VECSLIR, Lorena  and  CICCOLELLA, Pablo. Relocalización de las actividades terciarias y cambios en la centralidad en la Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires. Rev. geogr. Norte Gd. [online]. 2011, n.49, pp. 63-78. ISSN 0718-3402.  doi: 10.4067/S0718-34022011000200005.

Among the most recent territorial transformations, changes in the logic of localization, in the physical configuration of space, as well as in the functional programs of the new "tertiary" spaces are increasingly significant. The growth process and the territorial spread of activities such as business center services, lodging, large retail and leisure establishments, in the urban region of Buenos Aires during the last two decades, relates to different restructuring modalities of metropolitan centralities and subcentralities. It seems easy to verify relevant trends such as the continuity of traditional dynamics, morphologies and locations, as well as the consolidation of a district network of service activities location, compatible with the sparser configuration and network operation of new global metropolitan patterns.

Keywords : Territorial restructuring; metropolitan region of Buenos Aires; service activities; metropolitan centralities.
